Hangmen (Faber Drama)

<p><i>I'm just as good as bloody Pierrepoint.</i></p><p>In his small pub in Oldham, Harry is something of a local celebrity. But what's the second-best hangman in England to do on the day they've abolished hanging? Amongst the cub reporters and sycophantic pub regulars, dying to hear Harry's reaction to the news, a peculiar stranger lurks, with a very different motive for his visit.</p><p><i>Don't worry. I may have my quirks but I'm not an animal. Or am I? One for the courts to discuss.</i></p><p>Martin McDonagh's <b>Hangmen </b>premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in September 2015.</p>
