The Lonesome West at Davis Square Theater

In a small Irish town that's fast becoming the murder capital of the world, two brothers battle it out over a dead father, an inheritance and a packet of crisps. Sadistic, inflammatory and dangerous.

It tells the story of Coleman and Valene Connor, whose dysfunctional co-habitation plays out a hilariously dark vision of the human condition.
