Enniskillen Theatre Company Presents The Lonesome West
This month sees the long-awaited return of Mountmellick Drama Festival to Laois’ Dunamaise Arts Centre. With multiple productions from local talent and beyond, make sure to grab your tickets!
The Enniskillen Theatre Company, have crafted a beautiful production The Lonesome West; Set in a remote Irish town in the late 1990s, this darkly comedic and intense family drama revolves around the dysfunctional relationship between brothers Coleman and Valene as they navigate the aftermath of their father’s death. Only Father Welsh, the local priest, attempts to reconcile the two before their petty squabbles escalate into vicious and bloody carnage. Amidst humour, fighting and tragedy, the play delves into themes of family dynamics, isolation and unresolved conflicts. Martin McDonagh’s black comic portrayal of modern rural Ireland will leave you laughing and horrified in equal measure.
