MARTIN MCDONAGH is enjoying great success as a film-maker in recent years, most recently with his tour-de-force black comedy Seven Psychopaths.
However he first came to attention in the 1990s, with his series of plays The Leenane Trilogy, which also featured a motley crew of misfits and eccentrics creating and finding themselves in violent situations.
The second play in the trilogy, 1997’s A Skull In Connemara, will be staged by Decadent Theatre in the Town Hall Theatre from Thursday January 31 to Saturday February 2 (previews ), followed by the official run from Monday 4 to Saturday 9 at 8pm
The production begins rehearsal next Monday and after its Galway run, it will embark on a 10 venue tour over eight weeks. The cast includes John Olohan, Brid Ní Neachtain, Patrick Ryan, and Jarlath Tivnan. It will be directed by Andrew Flynn.
Tickets are available from the Town Hall on 091 - 569777 and www.tht.ie
