Wildfire Theatre announces a return season of last year's critically acclaimed and successful show, "The Beauty Queen Of Leenane". In the remote Irish village of Leenane rain is as common as Catholics and the most exciting pasttime is watching cows pass by. Lonely spinster, Maureen, is trapped taking care of her elderly, cantankerous mother, Mag. When Maureen finally discovers romance, things get horribly out of hand. This modern classic is full of clever twists, bitter tragedy and scathing black comedy leading up to its stunning conclusion. Martin McDonagh’s Tony Award-winning black comedy unleashes all the dark humor and rich language for which he has been internationally praised. This little gem of a production is an auspicious debut...the kind of taut theatre we would all love to see more often" The Daily Telegraph - 2008
