The Lonesome West is by contemporary playwright Martin McDonagh and is the third in the
trilogy which also includes the much-featured Beauty Queen of Lenane and A
Skull in Connemara.
All three plays depict the shocking and violent goings-on in the non fictitious
Western village
of Lenane.
The Lonesome West features the constantly arguing brothers Coleman
and Valene whose father has just died in a shotgun "accident." Only Father Welsh, the alcoholic parish
priest, attempts to fix their relationship, but his advice mostly goes unheard.
You are encouraged to try this production by Ardagh Drama Group, Limerick at Lislea Drama
Festival tonight at 8.00.
