'Getting your hairstyle insulted is no just cause to go murdering someone.'

From the writer of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, In Bruges, The Banshees of Inisherin and The Beauty Queen of Leenane, The Lonesome West is Martin McDonagh's savage, uproarious tale of two warring brothers.

In the aftermath of their father's untimely death, the Connor brothers are at each other's throats. In the wild west of Ireland, in a town plagued by murder and petty disputes, Coleman and Valene battle it out over unresolved childhood grievances. As the brothers teeter on the edge of brutal, bloody carnage, a young local priest attempts to bring about peace - with devastating consequences.

Twenty-five years after its smash-hit debut on Broadway, The Lonesome West storms into The Old Fitz Theatre this January, directed by Anna Houston (Cyprus Avenue). The final instalment of the acclaimed Leenane Trilogy, Martin McDonagh's pitch-black comedy is sure to shock, thrill and delight.

★★★★ 'Funny and grim … a dark parody of a modern-day truth-and-reconciliation process.' - The Guardian

'Gleefully macabre … an exhilaratingly original voice.' - New York Times
