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.
