Lucan Drama
The Beauty Queen of Leenane is, like all great plays, about many things but in this particular great play the emphasis is on the relationship between a mother, Mag, played by Bernie Edgeworth and Maureen, her adult daughter, who is played by Catherine Collins.
Under the direction of Jacqueline Carroll this Martin McDonagh drama is at times hilarious, touching and devastatingly heart breaking.
The production runs from April 13th to 16th upstairs in Courtney's of Lucan and tickets are now available at www.gr8events.ie
Play only and dinner/play tickets are available.
