SUMMER 2019 FilM THeaTre Western Wednesday 15 May A group of German construction workers start a tough job at a remote site in the Bulgarian countryside. The foreign land awakens the men's sense of adventure, but they are also confronted with their own prejudices due to the language barrier and cultural differences. The stage is quickly set for a showdown when men begin to compete for recognition and favour from the local villagers. The Beauty Queen of Leenane ‘…a faultlessly observed, broodingly intelligent piece of realism; a dispatch from a sun-baked frontier that could hardly feel more mundane, but which Grisebach somehow suffuses with the beauty and power of myth." ¬ Justin Chang - Los Angeles Times Directed by Claire Ryan and featuring Diane Lacey, Jacqui Lacey, John Glasheen and Mark Fitzell, the play is set in Leenane in the mountains of Connemara, Co. Galway. It tells the story of Maureen Folan, a plain and lonely woman in her early forties, and Mag, her manipulative, ageing mother.
