It’s 1965 and Harry Wade reigns over his pub like a king.
Harry capitalises on his reputation as England’s second-best Hangman, and his customers overlook his shortcomings to sup a pint poured by an executioner. A local hero, his popularity wanes as executions come to be suspended. As the gallows fall silent, Harry faces an identity crisis, what can he offer beyond poorly pulled pints?
When a journalist prods for an interview, Harry sees a chance to redefine his legacy. But will this help his reputation or open old wounds? Especially when an unsettling ghost from the past is prowling around, with keen interest in Harry's daughter.
Only quick wits and sharp thinking can save the day, but they’re in short supply among Harry and his regulars.
“HANGMEN,” a captivating dark comedy by Martin McDonagh, delivers uproarious laughter and a thrilling story. Packed with tension and jaw-dropping twists.
