Tonight at the drama festival, Mullingar Theatre Lab present ‘The Lonesome West’ by Martin Mc Donagh.
Set in Leenane, County Galway, ‘The Lonesome West’ is a dark comedy, and part of McDonagh’s Connemara Trilogy, in which we find the forever battling brothers Coleman (Alan Conroy) and Valene (Steve Ennis) drinking and fighting their way through life after the shooting of their father. Fr Welsh (T. J. McCann) is the hapless drunk priest trying to save their souls whilst trying to dodge the advances of local beauty Girleen (Dawn Flynn).
