The Beauty Queen of Leenane Trailer - Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh

[@lyceumtheatre]

@MrSweeneyTodd Hi there, not sure what it's called - it was written specially for the trailer by one of the guys at our production company, Enterprise Screen. Will try to find out if he ever named it, or if it's just called "Beauty Queen music" or something along those lines. Glad you liked it though! :-)

@Kentagonc Thanks very much, glad you liked it! Yeah, there's a lot of complex emotions and motivations in there, Cara and Nora did a brilliant job (Cara earning a nomination for a CATS award in fact) Good luck with your competition, let us know how it goes! :-)

Hi! I was wondering if there was a DVD copy of this production as I am studying this play for Drama and it would be extremely useful to talk about in my essays and also further my understanding of the text.

Aristotle once said "drama and tragedy should be restricted to topics about the upper classes, while comedy should be about topics of the lower classes." But as we see here, tragedies about the lower classes are the most tragic.

This is what "Grey Gardens" would've been like if the Beales were living in a tiny two room house.

Cool, good luck! It is indeed a very good play indeed. Hope the exam goes well, cheers!

This is really great music, what's the song?

[@lyceumtheatre]

@Blibish It'll come, don't worry! Sure it'll be great - where is your production?

[@lyceumtheatre]

@MondoBeno They certainly can be yeah - that said, there's always classics like Romeo and Juliet... which we just happen to have coming up soon - check out our trailer on our channel

@Blibish Cool, that'll be ideal for a play like Beauty Queen. Is the play being done in English or translated to French/Flemish? Also if you're in Belgium, then 'In Bruges' would be even more worth watching I think! :-)

@Fas6pa Thanks, glad you enjoyed it - yeah, it's a funny play (both funny ha-ha and funny-odd!) So many laughs but behind it all there's this heartbreaking tragedy. He's quite a writer is Martin McDonagh - have you ever seen In Bruges? That's one of his, very, very, very funny but some tough moments too

[@lyceumtheatre]

@Blibish Nice - it's a great role, lots of fun to play! She's SO infuriating! ;-)

[@lyceumtheatre]

@Blibish Yeah, it's great - very dark (as you'd expect from Martin McDonagh) but very, very funny :-)

@MondoBeno :-)
