A Behanding in Spokane

By Martin McDonagh

Directed by Betty Diamond

A very dark comedy set in the US, by Martin McDonagh, author of The Beauty Queen of Leeann and The Pillowman. Behanding is the story of a homophobic, racist, psychopath who wanders the country looking for his left hand that was chopped off 27 years ago. Merriment ensues.

Strong language. For mature audiences only. Betty Diamond will direct.

Produced by Madison Theatre Guild at Bartell Theatre's Evjue Stage, 113 E. Mifflin St., Madison
