Nominated for Tony Award for Best Play, The Lonesome West is the third play in Martin McDonagh's Connemara trilogy which includes The Skull of Connemara and The Beauty Queen of Leenane. Ensemble member Sheldon Patinkin, who directed The Gift's critically acclaimed, Jeff Nominated production of Beauty Queen, returns to direct the hilariously violent examination of brotherly love.

Artistic Director Michael Patrick Thornton says, "I'm thrilled to conclude our season with the ghoulish fun that only McDonagh provides and am delighted John Gawlik-with whom I did A Skull In Connemara at Northlight-has now come full circle in Leenane." Gawlik also performed in The Beauty Queen of Leenane at The Gift in 2007. With Lonesome West, he will complete the Leenane trilogy.
