WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
From Martin McDonagh, the author of the Tony Award-winning The Beauty Queen of Leenane, comes a wickedly funny new play about matters of life and death. When gravedigger Mick Dowd is given the task of unearthing the bones of his late wife, rumors about his role in her mysterious demise also begin to surface. A Skull in Connemara is directed by Gordon Edelstein for the Roundabout Theatre Company.
