  3. The Beauty Queen of Leenane


St. Stephen's Theater: - Martin McDonagh; dir: Kathryn MacMillan.

Maureen, a lonely spinster in her forties, lives with her diabolically manipulative mother Mag in an isolated cottage in a backwater village in the west of Ireland. Mag whines and bullies to get her way while Maureen resentfully fulfills her mother's every command. When Maureen is offered a last chance at love, she sees a chance to escape. But Mag has other ideas, setting in motion a chain of deceptions, secrets, and betrayals that are both heartbreaking and hilarious. The Beauty Queen of Leenane is an evocative dark comedy ripe with savage irony and horrifying surprises.
