The Beauty Queen of Leenane

February 19, 2017 7:30 – 9 p.m. February 10 – February 19

Set in the mountains of Connemara, County Galway, The Beauty Queen of Leenane tells the darkly comic tale of Maureen Folan—a plain and lonely spinster in her early 40s—and Mag—her manipulative, aging mother, whose interference in Maureen’s first and possibly final chance at love sets in motion a series of events that leads towards the play’s terrifying dénouement.

Co-winner of the 1998 Lucille Lortel Award for outstanding play and winner of four Tony Awards, The Beauty Queen of Leenane “is a gothic dark comedy” (NY Observer).

This show contains strong language and some violence and is intended for mature audiences.
