Ronin Theatre Company will bring Martin McDonagh’s “The Lonesome West” to the Phoenix stage in February.
Set in the Irish village of Leenane, this black comedy is about two brothers who torment each other in their father’s house after his death.
“This is the third in McDonagh’s trilogy set in the west of Ireland,” Ronin Artistic Director Keath Hall, who is acting in and directing the show, shared in a press release. “Adult brothers, Valene and Coleman, argue over anything and everything. It’s very endearing.”
