In his small pub in Oldham, Harry is something of a local celebrity. But what's the second-best hangman in England to do on the day they've abolished hanging? Amongst the cub reporters and sycophantic pub regulars, dying to hear Harry's reaction to the news, a peculiar stranger lurks, with a very different motive for his visit.
Don't worry. I may have my quirks but I'm not an animal. Or am I? One for the courts to discuss.
REVIEWS:
"Gripping, funny and dramatically tense, Hangmen is a thoroughly great play...riveting from start to finish. Almost every line is laugh-out-loud funny, every moment filled wit dramatic tension."
The Sunday Times
"A flawless treat."
The Independent
"...pitch-perfect...this look back in sharp-eyed wonder at the grimmer side of the swinging Sixties doesn't loosen its grip from start to finish. It's perhaps the most line-by-line funny play London has seen in years."
