Hangmen by Martin McDonagh
12 to 17 October 2026

Evenings at 7:45pm.
2:30pm matinee on Saturday 17 October.

In his small pub in Oldham, Harry is something of a local celebrity. But what’s the second-best hangman in England to do on the day they’ve abolished hanging? Amongst the cub reporters and sycophantic pub regulars, dying to hear Harry’s reaction to the news, a peculiar stranger lurks, with a very different motive for his visit. This savagely comic exploration of justice and punishment will have you laughing out loud, simultaneously shocked and delighted.​ A taut theatrical thriller by​ the multi award-winning writer of The Banshees of Inisherin, In Bruges and The Pillowman.
