The Ray Leonard Players (Confined) Present
“The Beauty Queen of Leenane”
By Martin McDonagh
Synopsis
Set in the mountains of Connemara, the play centres around Maureen Folan, a
plain and lonely woman in her early 40s, and Mag, her manipulative, aging mother.
The two share a turbulent and unhealthy existence. Mag’s interference in Mau-
reen’s first, and potentially last, romantic relationship sets in motion a chain of
events that are as tragically funny as they are horrific.
