Rewiews:

Mar 17, 2010 Adam Breckenridge Rated it: really liked it I think I may have set my expectations a bit high after the genius of In Bruges, but these are well written, interesting plays. The titular piece is a surprisingly intense drama, A Skull in Connemara is probably the weakest of the three, it has intriguing characters but a weak final act, while The Lonesome West had probably the most fascinating characters of any of them and was quite powerful though a bit inconsistent. 2 likes
