Hangmen All
4 March 2016
Brilliant. I am a long-standing
admirer of the playwright, since
I first saw 'The Beauty Queen of
Leenane'. He is the outstanding
playwright of his generation.
'Hangmen' is well up to his
past achievements. Funny, ironic,
and threatening, the play shows that
the system of hangmen's justice
goes on beyond its legal end.

Very funny black comedy
3 March 2016
I love Martin's work and was not disappointed by his latest offering. I can't give my usual 5 stars for his work because although it is very, very good, the experience was marred by a couple of things. I felt you needed to be in the stalls or circle to get the full value of the creative & first rate sets. Also to see any facial expressions which although the excellent cast tried to include everyone, the task is impossible. Basically if you have money to be able to afford £80 + seats then you are laughing.(although I still did laugh a lot!) The actors were all great even though I believe some might have been understudies. As a matinee performance I know it gives under studies a chance to shine. Sometimes they can even give better performances than the stars. I love Martin's writing and the direction again was excellent. I feel the end leaves us a bit hanging (pardon the pun) but if you can still get seats, I urge you to go.

Really funny, lively and entertaining. Fast paced with two great twists that I didn't expect. I'm so glad I managed to get tickets- lots of people couldn't as the house was packed even at 2.30 in the afternoon.

British Theatre at its best
3 March 2016
A superbly acted black comedy.
Well structured plot, a dramatic set used to build tension and actors all clearly enjoying themselves driving the pace to its superb climax. An unexpected topic but don't read too much about it as it will spoil it....if you love theatre don't miss it just go!

Dissappointed
26 February 2016
Although well staged and acted the play itself lacks direction. At times it seems to want to critique capital punishment and degenerates into sub Ealing comedy leaving this audience member disappointed. Behan's Quare Fellow was not evoked.

Good laugh, if not a bit macabre
25 February 2016
Great acting with impeccable timing on all the punch lines by the whole cast. Not a weak one among them!
A very professional production, with simplistic but creative use of a small stage and set changes.
The script was good albeit the reference to paraplegics did not add to the story line, was in bad taste and detracted from our overall enjoyment. The anti-German jibes were also a bit too strong at times.

Excellent, I have been trying to see Hangmen for some time, but the tickets were too expensive. It is very witty, fairly and amusingly un pc, and gripping. Fine acting from all, and a very good performance from johnny Flynn

Perplexed
24 February 2016
Was funny and entertaining. Was a bit confused as to why the creepy guy admitted to something he didn't do and got killed as a result. Doesn't make sense after he mocked the innocent man for getting caught. The hangman should have got his comeuppance.

Classic Martin McDonagh
24 February 2016
We're big fans of MM and this dark comedy lived up to expectations - strong cast (from newbie Bronwyn James to old hands such as David Morrissey and Andy Nyman), brilliant comedic timing and 60s set and props, big questions about morality, 'justice' and, of course, hanging.

A must see
21 February 2016
A brilliantly written and acted production. Excellent minor characters as well as first class principals. It is very funny and McDonagh revels in the language given to his characters. The mix of humour and menace is reminiscent of Pinter. The actress playing Shirley is straight out of drama school and her stunning début suggests a great future as long as she doesn't become typecast. We will go to the live broadcast at the cinema next. month.

I took my 15 year old daughter to see this and we both enjoyed the production hugely! The cast was Stella and the delivery of fast paced lines and slow burn humour was exquisitely timed. Highly recommended - a great night out. Well done to the actors too - at the end, we could see you had enjoyed it as much as we had! Fabulous!

Strung along until the last syllable
19 February 2016
We were captured from the outset by this pacy, taut darkly comic drama. There are so many moments that fit Mooney's pondering- 'menacing or creepy? There's a difference.'
We were impressed by the meaningful writing and swept in by the urgent performances.
What a superb play.

Loved the play, especially as a fellow Pierpoint. The twists, turns and laughter were a great combination. My husband didn't know what to expect, and was surprised when the audience started to laugh in the first act. Great stage play, but could also be great on the radio.

Surreal Thriller
18 February 2016
The world inhabited by the supposed last hangman in Britain is familiar to those who have seen and enjoyed the movie 'In Bruges' - another Martin McDonagh creation. I love the way the play stretches reality in just the way a master storyteller should to telling a tale that is at once funny, fascinating and macabre. Brilliant!
