The San Jose Stage Company (Randall King, Artistic Director, and Cathleen King, Executive Director) has announced the complete cast and creative team for the West Coast Premiere of Hangmen by Martin McDonagh.
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), Hangmen is a darkly comedic exploration of justice and punishment that will have audiences laughing out loud, simultaneously shocked and delighted by its twists and turns.
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.
The production will run from April 3 – 28, 2024 at San Jose Stage Company (490 South 1st Street, San Jose, CA, 95113).
Hangmen will be directed by James Reese.
Ticket prices range from $34 to $74 and can be purchased online at www.thestage.org or through the box office at (408) 283-7142.
