Hangmen
Hangmen | Martin McDonagh
3 posts | 2 read
I'm just as good as bloody Pierrepoint. In his small pub in Oldham, Harry is something of a local celebrity. But what's the second-best hangman in England to do on the day they've abolished hanging? Amongst the cub reporters and sycophantic pub regulars, dying to hear Harry's reaction to the news, a peculiar stranger lurks, with a very different motive for his visit. Don't worry. I may have my quirks but I'm not an animal. Or am I? One for the courts to discuss. Martin McDonagh's Hangmen premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in September 2015.

One red book and one green book for #seasonsreadings2016. Both are funny, although the humour of Hangmen is a bit darker than that of Redshirts.

A darkly funny play, with more comedy in the first half. Enjoyed the West End production shown on National Theatre Live! 😄

One of my more successful book-and-beverage pairings. The beer is a Bath Ales stout I'd been hoarding and the pint glass looks just like the ones used in Harry's pub.
