The Beauty Queen of Leenane

by Martin McDonagh
Directed by Forrest Sears
September 8-17, 2005

Sirius Idaho Theatre presented Martin McDonagh's play The Beauty Queen of Leenane, directed by Forrest Sears. It was performed at the Kenworthy Performing Arts Centre, 508 S. Main St., Moscow, Idaho.

Set in the mountains of Connemara, County Galway, The Beauty Queen of Leenane tells the darkly comic tale of Maureen Folan, a plain and lonely woman in her early forties, and Mag her manipulative ageing mother whose interference in Maureen's first and potentially last loving relationship sets in motion a train of events that is as gothically funny as it is horrific.

The Beauty Queen of Leenane premiered in 1996 in Galway, Ireland. It subsequently had a successful run in London and won four Tony Awards in New York.
