The Beauty Queen of Leenane - Wonderful; Hilarious and tragic all at the same time. The climax is shocking in the extreme.
By Nessy76
Format:Paperback
Martin McDonagh is undoubtedly one of the finest dramatists of his generation.
This collection brings together his early work, which while it doesn't quite reach the excellence of "The Pillowman" and "Lieutenant of Inishmore" is perfectly crafted and structured.
Hopefully McDonagh's burgeoning film career won't mean that he is lost to theatre, we simply don't have enough contemporary playwrights this good.

Great plays, sloppy formatting
26 Feb 2010
By Larry Gopnik

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
The plays themselves are fantastic. The formatting for the Kindle edition, however, leaves something to be desired. Sudden, inexplicable font increases, typos galore, inconsistent margins. This looks like the printed copy was just scanned by OCR and dumped into HTML with nobody bothering to clean up all the errors. Still readable overall, but not easy on the eye. Since this is being called "McDonagh Plays 1 (v.1)" does this mean there's a "McDonagh Plays 1 (v.2)" on the way? If so, I would like the free upgrade. $13.77 is not cheap for an e-book, and at that price you expect a better product.

Three Plays by McDonagh
7 Jan 2010

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
These plays are perhaps some of McDonagh's most stunning works to date. This was a great price for a good collection of significant modern plays. The Irish playwrights have stolen the thunder from their British contemporaries. I've seen these on stage and they are breath taking!
