Four-time TonyAward nominee MartinMcDonagh sets Broadway return with his dark comedy-thriller 'Hangmen,' adding to unusually competitive 2020 race for best play
, which won the 2016 Olivier Award for best new play in its London premiere and the New York Drama Critics Circle honor for best foreign play for its acclaimed off-Broadway run two years later, will open March 19 at Broadway's Golden Theatre following previews from Feb. 28. The 20-week limited engagement is scheduled to run through July 18.
The pitch-black comedy about injustice, revenge and man's natural instinct for violence is set in a Lancashire pub run by Harry Wade, Britain's second most famous executioner. Pegged to the abolition in 1965 of hanging in England, it clocks the mounting tensions as Harry deals with needling regulars and reporters eager for his take on the news, a surprise visit from his more celebrated professional rival and the menacing presence of a mysterious stranger from London.
Directed by Matthew Dunster, the play was widely expected to transfer directly to Broadway following its sold-out extended 2018 U.S. premiere run at the Atlantic Theater Company, which drew rave reviews. But cast scheduling conflicts and unavailability of a suitable theater put those plans on hold. While casting is to be announced for Broadway, the Atlantic run featured Mark Addy as Harry and Johnny Flynn as Mooney, the shady outsider from London. David Morrissey originated the role of Harry at London'sDunster will again direct the Broadway engagement, which is produced by Robert Fox, Jean Doumanian and Elizabeth I. McCann. The production will feature the original craft team of scenic and costume designer Anna Fleischle, lighting designer Joshua Carr and sound designer Ian Dickinson.
