Martin McDonagh’s Hangmen, Starring David Morrissey & Johnny Flynn, Will Transfer to the West End

As we predicted back in July, Martin McDonagh’s Hangmen will transfer to the West End from the Royal Court Theatre. Directed by Matthew Dunster and starring original cast members David Morrissey and Johnny Flynn, the production will play a limited engagement December 1 through March 5, 2016. Opening night is set for December 7 at the Wyndham’s Theatre.

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.

Morrissey’s stage credits include In a Dark House, Macbeth and Peer Gynt. On screen he has been seen in The Driver, Red Riding, Field of Blood, South Riding, The Walking Dead, Richard II, Sleepyhead, Scaredy Cat, Hilary & Jackie and Captain Correlli’s Mandolin.

Flynn’s theater resume includes Jerusalem, The Low Road, The Heretic, Richard III and Twelfth Night. His film and TV credits include Small Holding, Love is Thicker than Water, Clouds of Sils Maria, A Devotee of Art, Brotherhood and Detectorists.
