Exploring such subjects as torture, infantcide, murder and powerlessness whilst sustaining a relentlessly witty dialogue McDonagh’s chilling tale terrifies & delights audiences.
The play received the 2004 Olivier Award for Best New Play, the 2004-5 New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best New Foreign Play and two Tony Awards for production.
Our aim is to complement McDonagh’s razor sharp script with elements of puppetry, mask work, media & physical characterisation to heighten this nightmarish fairytale.
