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.
Please note: This play contains adult themes and very strong language.
Saturday Box Office at the Green Room: 11am to 12 noon on 19, 26 September and 3, 10 October.
