About the Show

It's 1965, and capital punishment has just been abolished in the UK. In a dingy pub in the north of England, the landlord, Harry, who until recently was known as 'the second-best hangman in Britain' holds court. Surrounded by a motley crew of sycophants and hangers-on, he relishes the celebrity his profession has brought him. The arrival of a mysterious stranger from London creates an atmosphere toxic with suspicion. This brilliant, funny and wildly off-beat play (from the acclaimed writer of in Bruges, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, The Lieutenant of Inishmore) is a stinging condemnation of state-sanctioned murder delivered with furious, macabre humour. 2016 Olivier Award for Best New Play.
