This month's play:
Hangmen by Martin McDonagh

McDonagh is a British-Irish playwright and filmmaker whose work blends vibrant dialogue, exceptionally dark humor, and violence. Notable plays include The Pillowman. He wrote and directed the feature-length films In Bruges, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, and The Banshees of Inisherin.

Hangmen is an Olivier Award winner and Tony Award nominee, first performed in 2015.  

"In his small pub in Oldham, Harry is something of a local celebrity. But what's the second-best hangman in England to do on the day they've abolished hanging? Amongst the cub reporters and sycophantic pub regulars, dying to hear Harry's reaction to the news, a peculiar stranger lurks, with a very different motive for his visit.

Don't worry. I may have my quirks but I'm not an animal. Or am I? One for the courts to discuss."

Content Advisory: Strong language and depictions of hanging.
