THE LONESOME WEST

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 Cast and Creative Team Producing Company: Empress Theatre Playwright: Martin McDonagh Director: Anna Houston Assistant Director: Phaedra Nicolaidis Production Manager: Saz Watson Set & Costume Designer: Kate Beere Lighting Designer: Spencer Herd Sound Designer & Composer: Zachary Saric Stage Manager: Anthony Speed Dialect Coach: Linda Nicholls Gidley Fight Choreographer: Scott Witt Publicist: Sean Hall Cast: Ruby Henaway (as Girleen Kelleher), Abe Mitchell (as Father Welsh), Lee Beckhurst (as Coleman Connor), Andre de Vanny (as Valene Connor) production photo ©️Saz Watson
