TheStory: On the outskirts of Mormon Country, Idaho, a six hundred pound
recluse hides away in his apartment, and slowly eats himself to death.
Desperate to reconnect with his long-estranged daughter, he reaches out to
her, only to find a viciously sharp- tongued and wildly unhappy teen.
Big-hearted and fiercely funny, The Whale tells the story of a man's last
chance at redemption, and of finding beauty in the most unexpected places.

glued to the stage...Equally dynamic and horrifying." - New York Observer

"Extraordinary. As he did in his breakthrough play A Bright New Boise,
Hunter has constructed an outsize, gothic scenario in tender miniature." - New
York Magazine

THE STORY: For one week each autumn, Mick Dowd is hired to disinter the
bones in certain sections of his local cemetery to make way for the new
arrivals. As the time approaches for him to dig up those of his own late
wife, strange rumors regarding his involvement in her sudden death seven
years ago gradually begin to resurface.

1998 - Laurence Olivier Best New Comedy Award (Nomination)

"Mr. McDonagh's great strength is that he combines a love of traditional
storytelling with the savage ironic humor of the modern generation... " —The
Guardian (UK)

“Skull-cracking craic. A twisted and deliciously dark production – witty in
all the wrong places and hilarious in all the right ones – it takes a
grisly set-up and bookends it with all the simplicities of country life in
the early 1990s.” – The Herald

“Judging by the subject matter McDonagh gravitates towards – the body count
tends to be significant amid the near-hysterical laughter – it is
understandable that he has been dubbed the ‘Quentin Tarantino of Irish
drama’; his probing of death and violent acts while keeping the banter
flowing spiritedly makes him the undisputed bad boy of the Irish stage
play.” – Newsletter

“This is a hilarious and bloody performance not to be missed. Hilariously
weird and whacky... It’s funny how distinctly Irish it is.” - Love Belfast

Press:
"As the dialogue among these three women intensifies into a roller-coaster
ride of vulnerability and deception, one shocking secret is revealed after
another. Yet despite the harsh twists of what-ifs and missed chances, the
play leaves you with the saving graces of family loyalty and endurance."
- TimeOut New York

"A fantastic, dark portrait of three women at the end of their rope...so
rich and compelling that you can't wait to see what's around the bend." -
nytheatre.com

"A winner...a remarkable thread of hope...that should keep the play in
production for some time."  The Happiest Medium

"Compelling and powerful..."wow" is too small a word." - The Balcony and
Beyond "Magic...a gem of a play." - CT Out and About

"A powerful piece of writing...refreshingly provocative." – Connecticut
Critics Circle
