The Liffey Players is scheduling auditions for their upcoming spring production, The Beauty Queen of Leenane, by Martin McDonagh
Synopsis:
“Set in the mountains of Connemara, County Galway, THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE tells the darkly comic tale of Maureen Folan, a plain and lonely woman in her early forties, and Mag, her manipulative aging mother, whose interference in Maureen’s first and possibly final chance of a loving relationship sets in motion a train of events that leads inexorably towards the play’s terrifying denouement.”
Need the following actors:
Maureen Folan- 40’s (part on offer)
Mag Folan- her mother aged 70, stout but frail
Pato Dooley- age 40’s
Ray Dooley- his brother 20’s
This production will run at the Irish Cultural Society from May 9 to 18, 2013.
