A Skull in Connemara

Martin McDonagh’s brilliant contemporary dark comedy-drama 'A Skull in Connemara' arrived Off-Broadway at the Gramercy Theatre in 2001 under the banner of the Roundabout Theatre Company, completing an acclaimed commercial residency follow its West End adulation. Standing as the shocking second chapter of his legendary Leenane Trilogy, the macabre, textually raw narrative unfolds inside a dreary cottage corridor in rural Ireland, tracking a lonely graveyard worker whose job is to dig up old skeletons to clear space, collapsing into a chaotic crisis when he unearths his deceased wife's bones.
