false 240261 1 These three plays are set in a town in Galway so blighted by rancor, ignorance, and spite that, as the local priest complains, God Himself seems to have no jurisdiction there.<br><br><i>The Beauty Queen of Leenane</i> portrays ancient, manipulative Mag and her virginal daughter, Maureen, whose mutual loathing may be more durable than any love. In <i>A Skull in Connnemara</i>, Mick Dowd is hired to dig up the bones in the town churchyard, some of which belong to his late and oddly unlamented wife. And the brothers of <i>The Lonesome West</i> have no sooner buried their father than they are resuming the vicious and utterly trivial quarrel that has been the chief activity of their lives.<br><br>"[McDonagh is] the most wickedly funny, brilliantly abrasive young dramatist on either side of the Irish Sea.... He is a born storyteller."--<i>New York Times</i> 232743 8 9 1998 The Beauty Queen of Leenane and Other Plays total:241|5:95|4:102|3:34|2:7|1:3| 241 1002 309 20 4 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sun Jan 18 20:37:11 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 20:39:04 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Fri Feb 27 11:44:05 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 27 11:44:41 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Mon Mar 02 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 03 15:37:09 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 03 15:37:37 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Wed Nov 12 19:09:17 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 20 22:17:55 -0800 2008 ]]> 5 0 false false Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Jun 19 06:36:23 -0700 2007 Tue Jun 19 06:41:26 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Thu Dec 13 14:16:36 -0800 2007 Thu Dec 13 14:21:56 -0800 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Mar 22 18:49:36 -0700 2008 Sat Mar 22 19:01:35 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Mon Mar 19 08:11:59 -0700 2007 Wed Jul 18 08:39:30 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Sep 20 10:22:49 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 20 10:24:44 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sat Jul 12 10:24:40 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 12 10:25:45 -0700 2008 3 0 true false Wed Nov 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Wed Jun 06 22:32:41 -0700 2007 Wed Jun 06 22:32:43 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Sat Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Fri Jun 22 10:00:20 -0700 2007 Fri Jun 22 10:02:18 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Thu Jan 03 05:56:37 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 03 05:59:36 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 25 12:45:09 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 25 12:46:14 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Thu Jun 26 11:26:47 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 26 11:27:25 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Thu Oct 09 07:32:05 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 12 09:50:32 -0700 2008 2 0 false false Thu Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sat Dec 15 08:03:11 -0800 2007 Sat Dec 15 08:03:11 -0800 2007 5 0 false false Sat Jun 07 12:55:49 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 07 12:56:34 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Fri Oct 26 12:40:23 -0700 2007 Fri Oct 26 12:40:41 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Sat Jan 19 11:20:57 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 24 11:46:09 -0800 2008
