Beauty Queen of Leenane, The

Martin McDonaugh’s gripping play THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE won 4 Tony Awards in 1998 including Best Play, Best Actor and Actress and Best Director. The Broadway run of this play sold out while the play was still in rehearsals! Set in the mountains of Connemara, County Galway, this darkly comic tale of Maureen Folan, a plain lonely woman in her early forties, and Mag, her manipulative aging 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 end.
