HANGMEN by Martin McDonagh
We are very excited to be back in the rehearsal room and working on our production of HANGMEN. Our first reading had many of us buckled over with laughter. This really is a very, very funny.
This is a darkly comic masterpiece, combining biting humour with gripping drama. Set in 1960s England, it revolves around Harry Wade, a former hangman, as he grapples with the abolition of capital punishment and his own complicated past. With McDonagh’s signature razor-sharp dialogue and twists, HANGMEN explores themes of justice, morality, and power. The play’s intensity is matched only by its unexpected bursts of wit, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats. Having earned critical acclaim and prestigious awards, HANGMEN is a must-see for anyone who appreciates thrilling, thought-provoking theatre. Prepare to laugh, gasp, and ponder the grey areas of human nature in this gripping production from one of today’s most celebrated playwrights. Don’t miss it!
