I absolutely love In Bruges (so much so that I actually visited Bruges) and more recently Seven Psychopaths, so the presentation of A Skull in Connemara at The Lyric Theatre, from the same writer as the aforementioned films, fills me with all kinds of giddy glee. The play is on for a 6 night run at the newly renovated Lyric Theatre and is sure to be a popular choice. Tickets are on sale here and you can claim a student ticket for £10 on the Decadent Theatre Company facebook page here.
Martin McDonagh, author of In Bruges, Seven Psychopaths & the celebrated Leenane Trilogy brings you A Skull in Connemara.
