This simultaneously terrifying and comical story of Irish playwright McDonagh on domestic tyranny and violence requires a sense of airtight balance in its stage presentation. The play explores a relationship between an old capricious woman and her spinster daughter who is forced to care for her. The play’s nuances are so tight that it begs a closer look--one that in this production is provided by a projection device which impartially captures both the on-screen life cycle and unrealizable dreams of its heroes. The director and scenographer clearly feel the unforgettable nature of this play and transform The Beauty Queen of Leenane into a true phantasmagoria and theatrical burlesque.
