The Beauty Queen of Leenane at the Young Vic

Event: The Beauty Queen of Leenane
Date: July 15th to August 21st

Living deep in the mountains of Galway is a woman who longs for more than the hand life has dealt her.

At 40 years old, Maureen is a spinster whose life is not her own.

Living with her in the mountain retreat is her mother, a crafty and manipulative woman who will do whatever it takes to make sure her own needs are catered for.

For poor Maureen, that means a life of servitude and solitude from which her other sisters managed to escape.

She longs for love and romance but faces a bleak future with little promise.

Martin McDonagh's The Beauty Queen of Leenane is a dark and twisted comedy exploring a highly destructive relationship between mother and daughter and is sure to be a winner with theatre lovers across the capital.

Something else which they will be fond of is the comfort and class that can be found at the luxury London hotel the Rubens at the Palace.

Guests who book the Get More From Your Stay package can look forward to a full English breakfast in addition to either a romantic turndown with chocolate-dipped strawberries, a three-course carvery dinner or a bottle of Pink Champagne.
