About the show

In the theater, we say that the play is an occasion for theater. But sometimes the play is everything. It is a dream, a sleep, truth, a lie, trembling, longing. It is the theater. When the story is so strong that you just want to tell it. When the story is so captivating that you feel like a child who has climbed onto a fairy-tale carousel, flying with a smile and without fear amidst the trembling of your dreams. When you don't want to add, embellish, write more or shorten, then you have found the play, your play, your text, your dream. I watched a documentary film about people in the theater. The makeup artist said that if there is a lot of makeup, props and whatnot in a performance, then something is wrong, meaning much has not worked out. Well, in "The Beauty Queen of Leenane" there is no makeup, wigs and incredible costumes, there are no unique effects, but there is a strong and exciting story. Captivating, soaked with passion, sadness and laughter. A story that will stop your breath and envelop you with the magic of the greatest art - Theater! Real, bright, unadulterated, with exceptional acting achievements, this performance will be part of your collection of unforgettable theatrical memories.
