Druid’s production of The Beauty Queen of Leenane makes its highly anticipated return to Galway’s Town Hall Theatre this September with Marie Mullen and Aisling O’Sullivan taking on the tumultuous relationship of mother and daughter, Mag and Maureen Folan.
Maureen Folan is a plain and lonely woman in her early 40s, and Mag is her manipulative, aging mother. Mag’s interference in Maureen’s first and potentially last romantic relationship sets in motion a chain of events that are as tragically funny as they are horrific.
In this 20th anniversary production, Marie Mullen plays the role of Mag, having won a Tony Award for her portrayal of Maureen in the original production. Tony Award-winning director Garry Hynes directs a stellar cast, including Aisling O’Sullivan with further cast members to be announced in the coming weeks.
