Hangmen is a critically acclaimed play by Irish playwright Martin McDonagh. Having transferred into the West End from the Royal Court, Hangmen is scheduled for an initial run lasting until March 5th 2016.
This gripping new play focuses on the day that hanging was abolished in Britain. Harry, the "second best hangman in all of England" finds himself in murky Oldham pub facing a barrage of questions from the curious regulars. However, in the shadows lurks a more sinister questioner with more sinister questions.
The Daily Telegraph | Dominic Cavendish
‘Re-establishes McDonaugh as the one to beat, and the Court the place to be. Doesn’t loosen its grip from start to finish. Perhaps the most line-by-line funny play London has seen in years’
