Expected darkly comedic instead got dark. But it’s mcdonagh so it’s dark in the best way possible.

Absolutely loved it! I’m a huge fan of Martin McDonagh’s filmography, and so when I learned he started out as a playwright, I knew I wanted to try and read some of his plays. Considering the fact that this is supposed to be performed and not necessarily read, it’s incredible how engaging the story is. The plot isn’t too insane, but the characters and dialogue more than make up for it. Martin McDonagh is truly a gifted storyteller and I can’t wait to read more of his plays!

Ugh! McDonagh is so morbid! I love it! What a sick, twisted story!

Amazing Irish play. Set in the 1990s in Leenane Co Galway, a play about mental health, relationships and how a mothers interference can be the end of her. Sad, moving and funny, it's brillaint!
