About

After the accidental death of their father, two grown up brothers Valene and Coleman, live out their days in his house in the hills of Connemara. Locked in a battle of sibling rivalry and childish bickering over the most mundane of things, the only person who might save them is their alcoholic parish priest.

Martin McDonagh's award-winning bleak, dark comedy is a hilarious and riotous examination of what happens when the modern world leaves you behind.

By Martin McDonagh

Director Patricia Logue
