PERFORMING November 2025 β at The Electric Theatre, Guildford. Hangmen by Martin McDonagh.
Directed by Mark Ashdown.
A killer comedy
Itβs 1965 in some drab little corner of England, where Harry has the distinct honour of being both the second-best hangman in the land and the proud owner of a modest pub he lives above with his fretful wife, Alice, and teenage daughter, Shirley. Capital punishment has just been outlawed, and a local journalist comes looking for a money quote from the man who once oversaw the eternal rest of several hundred souls, give or take. Harry β blusteringly assured of both his moral fortitude and his rope skills β is more than happy to hold court.
Winner: 2016 Olivier Award for Best New Play. Show page & trailer here
