The Leenane Trilogy is set in a rural Ireland so blighted by rancor, ignorance and spite, that even the local priest admits 'God Himself seems to have no jurisdiction here.

The Beauty Queen of Leenane portrays ancient, manipulative Mag and her virginal daughter, Maureen, whose mutual loathing may be more durable than any love; In A Skull in Connemara, Mick Dowd is hired to dig up the bones of his late wife in the town churchyard; and the brothers of The Lonesome West have no sooner buried their father than they are resuming the vicious and trivial quarrel that has been the chief focus of their lives.

Described by many as 'Quentin Tarantino meets Edward Albee', Martin McDonagh recaptures the violence, humour and darkness of the Ireland of his childhood in this searing trilogy.
