Overview

Valene and Coleman, two brothers living alone in their father’s house after his recent death, find it impossible to exist without massive and violent disputes over the most mundane and innocent of topics. Only Father Welsh, the local young priest, is prepared to try to reconcile the two before their petty squabbling spirals into vicious and bloody carnage.

This is the third work in Martin McDonagh’s trilogy of plays set in the Connemara region of Ireland, including The Beauty Queen of Leenane and A Skull in Connemara.
