An excellent play by Martin McDonagh that weaves a brutal yarn about family and ostracization and the stories we tell ourselves and others.

If emotional whiplash was a play, it would be this.

Probably the least of McDonagh's play's I've seen/read, but still pretty feckin' great - consistently funny throughout. I did have a ticket to see the Daniel Radcliffe starring production on the West End a few years back but some work trip got in the way so glad I finally caught up.
