A Behanding In Spokane - 2010 - Broadway History , Info & More

The title is just the starting point; take a man searching for his missing hand (Christopher Walken), two con artists out to make a few hundred bucks (Anthony Mackie and Zoe Kazan), and an overly curious hotel clerk (Sam Rockwell), and the rest is up for grabs. A Behanding in Spokane is Academy Award-winner Martin McDonagh's hilariously black comedy, a world premiere which marks McDonagh's first American-set play.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR A Behanding In Spokane

A Behanding in Spokane: Sounds Crazy, No?
4 / 10

While all is not sunshine, lollipops and rainbows in Martin McDonagh's newest gruesome comedy, A Behanding In Spokane, it is, by the playwright's standards, considerably lighter fare. No cats or children are harmed, nobody's shot in the head at point-blank range and there are no pots of urine involved at any time during the playwright's first piece set in America. Yes, there are characters that have gasoline poured on them and are then threatened with a lighter, but in moments like that the real suspense lies in whether or not we're about to see a really cool special effect.

What the Right Hand Is Doing
9 / 10

You're welcome to interpret 'A Behanding in Spokane' as a fable about two lost souls who have more in common than they realize—Mervyn, the hotel clerk, is fully as interesting a character as the mysterious Mr. Carmichael—or you can relax and revel in the virtuosity with which Mr. McDonagh stuffs wildly funny words into the mouths of his cast. Either way, you'll spend an hour and a half laughing nonstop.
