The Lonesome West
The Lonesome West
By MARTIN McDONAGH
Directed by DAVID O'CONNOR
September 14 - October 14, 2007 EXTENDED!

Red-hot playwright Martin McDonagh (The Pillowman, The Beauty Queen of Leenane) offers up the savagely funny comedy, The Lonesome West. In the tiny Irish backwater of Leenane, warring brothers Valene (Ross Beschler) and Coleman (Anthony Lawton) live to torment each other, baiting and brawling over every petty grievance. Only Father Welsh (Luigi Sottile), the local parish priest, will try to save them before their sibling rivalry explodes into a hilarious and brutal finish. Also featuring Geneviève Perrier.

"Is there a more reliable director in Philly than David O'Connor? I personally can't think of one." –Philadelphia Metro [More]
