resentment and malevolence’ (Sunday Times); A Skull in Connemara – ‘Here,
McDonagh’s gift is at its most naked and infectious . . . it leaves you giddy
with gruesome exhilaration’ (Financial Times); The Lonesome West: ‘The play
combines manic energy and physical violence in a way that is both hilarious
