Irish writer and director Martin McDonagh is well known for his black comedies and Hangmen, his first play in 10 years, proves that he has definitely not lost his touch. Transferring to the West End from the Royal Court where it had a sell-out run in the summer, the play is set in 1965 on the day that hanging is abolished in the UK.

Following a sell out run at the Royal Court Theatre, Matthew Dunster's award-winning production of Martin McDonagh's HANGMEN will transfer to the West End for a strictly limited season. Now in previews, the production will have a press night on 7 December at Wyndham's Theatre. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
