A Skull In Connemara by Martin McDonagh
Please note, this event has expired.
Presented by none too fragile at None Too Fragile Theater, Akron OH

On the outskirts of Mormon Country, Idaho, a six hundred pound recluse hides away in his apartment, and slowly eats himself to death. Desperate to reconnect with his long-estranged daughter, he reaches out to her, only to find a viciously sharp-tongued and wildly unhappy teen. Big-hearted and fiercely funny, The Whale tells the story of a man’s last chance at redemption, and of finding beauty in the most unexpected places.
Awards:
1998 Laurence Olivier Best New Comedy (Nominee)

“Mr. McDonagh’s great strength is that he combines a love of traditional storytelling with the savage ironic humor of the modern generation…” – The Guardian (UK)
“Skull-cracking craic. A twisted & deliciously dark production – witty in all the wrong places & hilarious in all the right ones – it takes a grisly set-up & bookends it with all the simplicities of country life in the early 1990’s” – The Herald

“judging by the subject matter McDonagh gravitates towards – the body count tends to be significant amid the near-hysterical laughter – it is understandable that he has been dubbed the ‘Quentin Tarantino of Irish drama’; his probing of death & violent acts while keeping the banter flowing spiritedly makes him the undisputed bad boy of the Irish stage play.” – Newsletter
“This is a hilarious & bloody performance not to be missed. Hilariously weird & whacky… It’s funny how distinctly Irish it is.” – Love Belfast
