The subject matter is dead-serious quite literally but McDonagh makes it outright hilarious. Father Welsh: I never touched the stuff before I came to this parish. This parish would drive you to drink. Coleman: I suppose it would, only some people don't need as much of a drive as others. Some need only a short walk.
Coleman: That dog did nothing but bark anyways. Valene: Well barking doesn't deserve ears chopped off, Coleman. That's what dogs are supposed to do is bark. If you didn't know. Coleman: The subject matter is dead-serious quite literally but McDonagh makes it outright hilarious.
Coleman: Not at that rate of barking. They're meant to ease up now and then. That dog was going for the world's fecking barking record. Coleman: Too hard on yourself is all you are, and it's only pure gossip that Mick and Maureen murdered anybody, and nothing but gossip.
Mick's missus was a pure drink-driving accident is unfortunate but could've happened to anybody Father Welsh: With the scythe hanging out of her forehead, now, Coleman? Coleman: A pure drink-driving, and Maureen's mam only fell down a big hill and Maureen's mam was never steady on her feet.

Father Welsh: I thought Leenane was a nice place when first I turned up here, but no. Turns out it's the murder capital of fecking Europe. Sep 27, leah rated it liked it. May 24, Justin rated it liked it. This the final play ties up the other plays of the trilogy neatly who knew an offhand remark about ears in "Beauty Queen" would be so important?
It feels unrealistic. The only bright and undeniably convincing spot is the palpable love between brothers, and the curious ways it shines forth. I may be biased because I've just read through all three plays of the Leenane trilogy in a row, but this one felt like it floated along without anything driving the plot. Still, not a bad play. Some great black comedy lines, great physical comedy, but no real momentum here. A wild fecking ride, now, it was. Dark funny, but funny and completely crazy!
Mar 03, Ezra Maloney rated it liked it. Very funny, interesting take on Catholicism in late 20th century Ireland, had a slight problem with the ending which is a surprise because McDonagh usually makes great endings. God bless Martin Macdonagh. Dec 10, Tierney added it Shelves: This book teaches you that life can be lonesome when no one understands you.

Father Welsh is sad about the state of affairs in his parish, most notably that Tom Hanlon just walked into the lake to commit suicide.
Coleman is out for blood and Welsh stops him. Welsh is mad because people are always messing up his name and saying it is Walsh. Girleen and Welsh meet on a bench, he tells her that he is going to be leaving. She says that she wants to write him she is in love with him. He writes a very long letter to Coleman and Welsh saying that they need to learn to get along for his memory. Coleman and Welsh try very hard to get along, trading confessions of things that they have done to each other over the years.
Coleman eventually tells Valene that he cut the ears off of Lassie and brings them out to him. Major fight, Coleman aims gun at Valene but it is empty. More fighting, but eventually they head to the bar. Mar 13, Greg rated it liked it Shelves: drama. I confess, this is just one of those plays I don't get. The play takes place in Ireland, and the action mainly occurs between two brothers. Occasionally other characters enter, such as their dead father killed by one of the brothers and Father Welsh who ends up committing suicide.
The brothers bicker and scheme, and end up agreeing with each other. They are despicable, and show no remorse for their greed and treachery. See my other reviews here! May 17, David rated it it was amazing Shelves: plays , read Funny, frightening, and with an undercurrent of compassion. More, they seem to be rather modest in requirements, both set-wise and prop-wise.
So, hey, Seattle theatre community How about some McDonagh plays? Aug 04, Tom Romig rated it it was amazing. The operative word here is "lonesome. A fateful inability to communicate or receive true feelings plagues not only the brothers but also the woeful village priest and the sassy Girleen.
McDonagh's dark, irresistible humor, wickedly conveys his characters' wide range of hopelessness. Apr 19, Robert rated it really liked it. DMCA and Copyright : The book is not hosted on our servers, to remove the file please contact the source url.
