The Lonesome West

Directed by Sean Faloon, ‘The Lonesome West’ follows their acclaimed version of ‘The Cripple of Inishmaan’ by the same author, which travelled to The City of Perm in Russia, where it scooped two top awards at the ‘2nd International Martin McDonagh Festival’.
Bickering brothers, Coleman and Valene share a house in the wild west of Ireland. One obsesses about his religious ornaments and his precious poteen, the other thinks only of his stomach, regularly crashing funerals in his quest for a free sausage roll.
Their local priest, troubled by a spate of murders in the area, tries, and fails, to convince the squabbling pair to set aside their petty differences. But when the brothers vow to be nicer to one another and wipe the slate clean by confessing to a string of vile misdemeanors towards one another, things can only degenerate into vicious and bloody carnage.
‘The Lonesome West’ is the third play in Martin McDonagh’s bleak but blackly comic Leenane trilogy. Please note: this play contains strong language.
