If dark humour is for you, Unity Theatre's new play will tickle your funny bone.
The Norman Mclean-directed A Skull in Connemara opens next week.
The deadly Irish comedy from acclaimed playwright Martin McDonagh (writer and director of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and In Bruges), is intended to shock
and has moments that will certainly startle.
“He entertains through his use of the hilarious in the best possible poor taste,” Maclean said.
Actors Liz Minogue, Ayden Malone, Sandy Britain and Sabian Coomber-Nickerson have made McDonagh's colourful and eccentric characters their own, breathing life into them in a manner that is bound to captivate audiences.
