The Lonesome West by Martin McDonagh
Directed by Naomi Liddle

Performances: Tuesday 15th to Saturday 19th September 2009, Prompt Corner

Part of McDonagh's Connemara trilogy, this play tells the tale of two brothers, living in a tiny Irish town that is fast becoming the murder capital of the world.

The Connor brothers live modest lives, gleaning joy from simple pleasures: drinking, joking with the foulmouthed Girleen, tormenting the naive young Father Welsh, and fighting with each other over crisps, inheritance and their dead father. When, in an attempt to salvage their relationship, they confess all to each other, the results are explosive. With viciously funny dialogue and a manic energy bowling the action along, this is a rip-roaring slice of Irish life, McDonagh style, and as with all his scripts, is not for the faint-hearted.
