Hello Lovely Cup of Tea....
I am drinking tea for the first time in weeks, months even. Tea. The drink of sages, poets, and philosophers. The drink that soothes; the drink that seems to connote comtemplation, peacefulness, and calm.
As opposed to coffee of course, the drink that I have been virtually SUBSISTING on these past few weeks. Coffee: the drink of the frazzled, stressed, over-extended, and sleepless masses. The pick-me-up that lets you hang your tired self on a hook to prevent it from crashing to the floor in slumber.
Yeah. I'm drinking tea, because there is nothing left to do with this show now except sit in the booth, hit "go", and watch the actors fly higher and higher each night.
My only wish now is for an audience.

Coleman and Valene Connor, two spiteful and constantly warring brothers, form an uneasy agreement following their father’s recent death. When the local clergyman, Father Welsh, makes the ultimate sacrifice in the hopes of reconciling them, the brothers are forced to reconsider their relationship. Dark deeds are subsequently revealed as a young priest’s soul hangs in the balance.
The Lonesome West is the final installment in Martin McDonagh’s award-winning Leenane Trilogy. A dark comedy set in the tiny village of Leenane, Co. Galway, Ireland, the play is characterized by the searing and often brutal humour for which Martin McDonagh is known.
