Photo Flash: THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE Opens at Mark Taper Forum

Center Theatre Group opened the Druid production of "The Beauty Queen of Leenane" this week. See all the fabulous photos from the event below.

A darkly comic tale of Maureen Folan, a plain and lonely woman in her early 40s, and Mag, her manipulative, aging mother, whose interference in Maureen's first and potentially lasT Loving relationship sets in motion a chain of events that are as tragically funny as they are horrific. Garry Hynes, who won a Tony Award® for her direction of The Beauty Queen of Leenane on Broadway, revisits this black comedy by Martin McDonagh (The Lieutenant of Inishmore) with the renowned Druid Theatre Company.
