Beauty Queen of Leenane

[9780413707307]

Set in the mountains of Connemara, County Galway, 'The Beauty Queen of Leenane' tells the darkly comic tale of Maureen Folan, a plain, lonely woman in her early forties, and mag, her manipulative ageing 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.
