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 of out of Mag's Complan?

Martin McDonagh's work includes the Olivier Award-winning play The Pillowman, Oscar-winning film Six Shooter and the BAFTA and Golden Globe-winning hit In Bruges. The Beauty Queen of Leenane is directed by Joe Hill-Gibbins (The Glass Menagerie, Young Vic). Rosaleen Linehan (Neil Jordan's The Butcher Boy, Dancing at Lughnasa, Broadway) reprises her highly acclaimed performance as Mag and is joined by Derbhle Crotty (Notes on a Scandal) as the long suffering Maureen. Derbhle most recently played Maimie to critical acclaim in John B Keane's The Field at the Olympia Theatre, directed by Joe Dowling earlier this year.
