Synopsis
Set in the deceptively idyllic, west Irish countryside, this is a darkly comic tale of Maureen Folan, a lonely spinster in her early forties, and Mag, her devious ageing mother. Mag’s interference in her daughter’s first and only chance of love starts a chain of events that lead inexorably to a tragic result.
This powerful work from Martin McDonagh won the 1998 Drama League Award for Best Play and the 1998 Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Broadway Play.
