Director Tony Estrella, renowned for his skill in guiding actors towards compelling and authentic performances, lends his distinctive perspective and artistic acumen to the production of Hangmen. This gripping theatrical experience, marking its New England premiere, is currently running now through November 26 at The Gamm Theatre in Warwick. 

The play is penned by celebrated British-Irish playwright Martin McDonagh, known for his darkly comedic and thought-provoking works; it delves into profound themes of culpability, redemption, and the repercussions of one's choices. With its meticulously crafted character development and intricate narrative, Hangmen encourages its audience to contemplate the intricacies of human nature. Set within the confines of a modest pub in 1960s Oldham, England, the narrative introduces us to Harry, a former executioner, whose past resurfaces with the arrival of an enigmatic stranger.

The impact of Hangmen extends well beyond the confines of the stage. Through its exploration of morality, justice, and the human condition, the play fosters conversations and introspection, offering a resonating experience for its audience. Since its debut, Hangmen has garnered widespread critical acclaim, lauded for its compelling narrative, exceptional performances, and McDonagh's razor-sharp dialogue, successfully striking a balance between dark humor and poignant moments.
