The Beauty Queen of Leenane

By Martin McDonagh

9 to 12 April 2025

 

Directed by Nettie Sheridan

 

 

 

The Beauty Queen of Leenane is a darkly comic drama set in a small, rural Irish village. The story follows Maureen Folan, a woman who has spent her life caring for her manipulative and bitter mother, Mag. Trapped in a stagnant, resentful existence, Maureen dreams of escape and a life beyond her bleak home.

 

The play explores themes of loneliness, family conflict, and the desperate desire for change ....  Both poignant and unsettling,

The Beauty Queen of Leenane examines the emotional toll of entrapment and the lengths people will go to in pursuit - or prevention - of freedom.
