A Behanding in Spokane: Martin McDonagh's New Dark Comedy
- Full Price:
- $40.00
- Our Price:
- $20.00
This 2010 comedy from acclaimed Tony and Oscar-nominated playwright and screenwriter Martin McDonagh (In Bruges, The Lieutenant of Inishmore, The Beauty Queen of Leenane) is the first of his works set in the U.S., but it retains all of his trademark biting black wit as he peers deep into the madness and absurdity lurking in the heart of America. Carmichael is a gun-carrying killer who's desperately looking for the missing left hand he somehow lost as a youth. The fun begins when he's suddenly faced with a nosy hotel clerk and a bickering couple, con artists who figure they've put their finger on a way to make some quick cash. Learn More

(3.5 stars)Written on Feb 17 2012
As usual, SF Playhouse has exceeded my expectations of local theater. They’ve set the bar so high with plays like Animals Out of Paper that I can’t give this one 5 stars. This was enjoyable theater, but...
Good direction and use of the stage, but the writing and acting were not my favorites. Some of the writing fell short - particularly the ending, which seemed like the writer ran out of time. But maybe the ending would have made sense with better performances... just maybe. The characters were *almost* believable sometimes, but never completely. I’m not sure whether to blame the writing or acting or directing, but it seemed like a bit of all three. It was fun to see a familiar face from Law & Order on stage… wish I believed her as this character. None of the characters were real enough to like or dislike them for more than a few minutes, and if I don't care about any of the characters, I'm not really engaged in the story. All too often it came across as throwing lines at each other.

The title is deceiving...Becky Shaw didn't enter the show until the second act...kinda weird.Written on Mar 07 2012
The Artistic Director, Bill English, was less than friendly...bordering on rude...when discussing seat assignments.
