The last word in gallows humour. A killer comedyEnter the world of “Hangmen,” a black comedy that dances on the edge of taboo with fearless finesse. Set against the backdrop of 1960s England, this gripping tale unfolds in a small northern town, where the echoes of a hanging reverberate long after the deed is done.
Meet Harry Wade, the second-best hangman in the land, whose pub serves as a nexus for gossip, intrigue, and dark secrets. As the spectre of abolition looms over Britain, Harry finds himself grappling with the ghosts of his past and the uncertainty of his future. When a mysterious stranger, Mooney, darkens Harry’s doorstep, the stage is set for a thrilling game of cat and mouse. With tensions simmering and allegiances shifting, Harry and his cronies are thrust into a perilous dance of power and deception.
As the plot twists and turns, McDonagh masterfully navigates the murky waters of morality and justice, leaving audiences on the edge of their seats until the final, chilling curtain call.
