Give the man a hand, before he loses his head!
Carmichael’s lost his hand. It’s been over thirty
years, and he’s still mad as hell. This is black comedy
at its funniest, thanks to Oscar winner Martin
McDonagh (Pillowman, Beauty Queen of Leenane,
In Bruges). Come join in the fun.
This may well be our funniest production of the year.
