Hangmen
Hangmen

The Olivier award-winning dark comedy

There is a bit more life in the air at the local Hangman's family pub - and it's not down to the quirky cronies at the bar. Today, hanging has been abolished. For good.

With Harry's face plastered across the front pages, his status as second best hangman and local celebrity continues to thrive. But when a menacing young Londoner strolls up to the bar, something says he's after more than a pint and a bag of peanuts… Harry may have hung up the noose for good, but will he ever wash one man's blood off his hands?

Written by Oscar award-winner Martin McDonagh (In Bruges, Three Billboards) this wickedly funny satire fuses an undeniably dark tale with the mundanity of Northern pub life, undercut with McDonagh's idiosyncratic humour. Set in 1960s Lancashire, this fast paced dark comedy will grip you until the bitter end.

Hangmen was ranked number 24 on The Times Best Plays of 21st Century.

Suitable for ages 14+ due to swearing, violence, smoking, and scenes of a racist nature.

Estimated running time: 2 hours 20 minutes plus an interval
