“A child seen him. Seen him sitting on the bench on the jetty, a pint with him, looking out across the lake to the mountains there. And when his pint was done he got up and started walking, the clothes still on him, and didn’t stop walking. No. ‘Til the poor head of him was under. And even then he didn’t stop.”

‘The Lonesome West’ takes us on a bleak journey to Leenane, Co.Galway, ‘the murder capital of fecking Europe’. Two adult brothers, Coleman and Valene Connor, fight like ‘a pair of fecking oul women’ over any petty grievance. Just as they had before Coleman shot their dad in the head because he insulted his hairstyle. Until one day a young priest ‘who never achieved anything…. in fact the opposite’ does something to stop them. Something that breaks the heart of a sweet nobody, who loved him…

Martin McDonagh is a critically acclaimed playwright whose works also include ‘The Beauty Queen of Leenane’, ‘A Skull in Connemara’, ‘The Cripple of Inishmaan’ and ‘The Pillowman’. McDonagh won the George Devine, Writer’s Guild, a Lawrence Olivier and four Tony Awards in 1996 as well as the Evening Standard Award for Most Promising Newcomer.
