Enter two bickering lovebirds with a hand to sell, and a hotel clerk with an aversion to gunfire, and soon life and death are up for grabs. <i>A Behanding in Spokane</i> turns over American daily existence, exposing the obsessions, prejudices, madness, horrors, and above all, the absurdities that crawl beneath it.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size: 10pt; background-color: white; ">A Behanding in Spokane</span></i><span style="font-size: 10pt; background-color: white; ">, McDonagh’s first play set in America, received its World premiere on Broadway in 2010 starring Christopher Walken as Carmichael.

getting a feel for the area and our stage with a partial season and a couple of
pretty serious dramas. We are
looking forward to opening our full schedule of 2013 shows with <i>A Behanding in Spokane</i>, by Martin
McDonagh, a dark-comedy which should give our patrons a couple of needed laughs
after the serious subject matter we worked through with our shows last year.”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; ">“Of course,” Derry continued, “it wouldn’t be a None Too Fragile
production without at least some semblance of subject-matter for our patrons to
discuss, and this show will certainly provide for that. But, you’ll have to see the show to see
what I’m referring to.”</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; "> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; ">Adds Co-Founder and Managing Director, Jaysen Mercer, “We are also
really excited about getting our Don Drumm designed season passes into more
peoples’ hands. We worked closely
with Don to create something that combines our spirit and his specific vision,
and anyone who buys a Membership, either online or before each show, gets this
piece of art as his or her season pass.”</span></p>
