San Jose Stage presents Hangmen
April 17 - April 28
Check the venue’s website for show timings.
When the United Kingdom abolishes the death penalty in 1965, all eyes in Oldham turn to Harry, the second-best hangman in the country, for his thoughts on this historic development. In a gripping tale, the news turns Harry’s pub into chaotic hub of locals and reporters seeking his reaction. Amidst the frenzy, a mysterious visitor arrives with a darker agenda. Sixth in the line of Martin McDonagh plays to grace The Stage (following “The Lieutenant of Inishmore,” “The Pillowman,” “The Lonesome West,” “A Skull in Connemara,” and “The Beauty Queen of Leenane.”), this darkly comedic exploration of justice and punishment will have audiences laughing out loud, simultaneously shocked and delighted by its twists and turns.
RUN TIME: This performance runs approximately 2 hours. There is one 15 minute intermission.
