ABOUT THE PLAY

Get ready for a wickedly sharp, darkly hilarious ride through the rugged mountains of Connemara, County Galway. THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE is a tale of family dysfunction at its finest—featuring Maureen Folan, a lonely, no-nonsense woman in her early forties, and Mag, her conniving, overbearing mother who could give a masterclass in emotional sabotage. When Maureen dares to grasp at a chance for love, Mag’s meddling sets off a chain reaction of twists, turns, and gut-punch surprises that barrel toward an unforgettable climax. Packed with biting humor and searing tension, this McDonagh masterpiece won the 1998 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Play—and trust us, it’s earned every bit of that honor.
