The Beauty Queen of Leenane

Written by Martin McDonagh [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_McDonagh] and directed by Margaret Johnson

Set in the mountains of Connemara, County Galway, The Beauty Queen of Leenane tells the darkly comic tale of Maureen Folan, a plain lonely woman in her early forties, and Mag, her manipulative ageing mother, whose interference in Maureen’s first and possibly final chance of a loving relationship sets in motion a train of events that leads inexorably towards the play’s terrifying dénouement.
