The Beauty Queen of Leenane by Martin McDonagh

Thu 22 - 24 April 2010

Tenterden Town Hall

The story is set in an Irish village, Leenane in Connemara in 1989. The entire play takes place in a shabby, poorly lit kitchen, resulting in a claustrophobic sense of entrapment. The play centres on the life of Maureen Folan, a 40 year old spinster who takes care of her 70 year old selfish and manipulative mother Mag. Sisters of Maureen have escaped into marriage and family life, but Maureen, with a history of mental illness, is trapped in a seriously dysfunctional relationship with her mother.
