The Beauty Queen of Leenane posted on 6 May 2011

High in the mountains of Galway live a lonely spinster Maureen and her devilishly manipulative mother Mag. Maureen longs for the romance that will spirit her away. But if she goes, who will stir the lumps out of Mag's Compan?

The Beauty Queen of Leenane  is a darkly comic, beautifully touching production from The Young Vic, one of the country's most exciting and innovative theatres'.

Martin McDonagh's work includes the Olivier Award-winning The Pillowman, Oscar-winning Six Shooter and the BAFTA and Golden Globe-winning hit In Bruges. Directed by Joe Hill-Gibbins (The Glass Menagerie), Rosaleen Linehan (Neil Jordan's The Butcher Boy, Dancing at Lughnasa on Broadway) reprises her highly acclaimed performance as Mag and is joined by Derbhle Crotty (Notes on a Scandal) as the long-suffering Maureen.
