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.”
The production runs from Thursday, Feb. 29 through Sunday, March 3 with two matinees and three evening performances at the Irish Cultural Center, 1106 N. Central Ave., in Phoenix.
Tickets are $30 for regular admission, $20 for Irish Cultural members, students, veterans and seniors over 60. Reservations available at www.azirish.org/ronin-theatre.
The cast features Hall as Coleman, Eric Darling-Bond as Valene, Alana Samuels as an Irish bootlegger (Girleen), and Phillip Herrington as an alcoholic parish priest (Father Welsh).
The remainder of Ronin’s 2024 season includes “The Hairy Ape,” “Venus In Fur,” “Haunted Castle,” and “Coriolanus.” Three will be staged at the Irish Cultural Center; “Venus” will be mounted at Stage Left Productions, 11340 W. Bell Road, Suite 105, in Surprise.
Ronin Theatre Company was established in 2020.
