  3. The Beauty Queen of Leenane


- Martin McDonagh; dir: Judith Swift.

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.

Gamm Theatre Frequently Asked Questions FAQ

Gamm Theatre is at 172 Exchange Street, Pawtucket, RI.

The Gamm was founded as Alias Stage by a small group of actors from the graduating class of Trinity Rep Conservatory. These young artists performed in abandoned mill buildings in Providence’s Olneyville neighborhood for almost a decade. In 1994, backed by a newly formed board of directors, the theater moved to a garage space in the Jewelry District where its reputation for quality acting in challenging and sometimes controversial plays grew. In 1998, the theater was renamed The Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre (The Gamm) in honor of the late actress and arts supporter. The company relocated to an annex of the historic Pawtucket National Guard Armory in 2003, where it performed for 15 seasons and grew exponentially in audience size and renown.
