Early life
McDonagh was born on 26 March 1970 in Camberwell, London, to Irish parents. His mother (originally from Killeenduff, Easky, County Sligo) and his father (originally from Leitir Mealláin, Connemara, County Galway) moved back to Galway in 1992, leaving McDonagh and his brother (writer-director John Michael McDonagh) in London.
Personal life
As of 2018, McDonagh has been in a relationship with actress and writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
McDonagh holds dual citizenship for both Ireland and the United Kingdom. The west of Ireland is a reoccurring setting for him: his first six plays (including The Beauty Queen of Leenane and The Cripple of Inishmaan) are located in or around Co Galway, where he spent a significant part of his childhood.
Career
McDonagh's first six plays are set in and around County Galway, Ireland, where he spent his holidays as a child. The first is set in Leenane, a tiny village on Ireland's west coast, and features The Beauty Queen of Leenane (1996), A Skull in Connemara (1997), and The Lonesome West (1997). The Cripple of Inishmaan (1996), The Lieutenant of Inishmore (2001), and The Banshees of Inisheer are all set throughout his second trilogy. McDonagh denied that the third play was released, though he has expressed a desire to return to it when he is older.
The Pillowman, McDonagh's first non-Irish play, is set in a fictional totalitarian state and premiered at the Royal National Theatre in 2003 after a reading at the Finborough Theatre in 1995.
McDonagh's first play that is set in the United States, A Behandling in Spokane premiered on Broadway in March 2010. Christopher Walken, the leading actor in a Play, was nominated for the Best Actor Award for his role as a murderer looking for the hand he lost in his youth.
McDonagh has written two award-winning radio plays, one of which is The Tale of the Wolf and the Woodcutter.
McDonagh, composer Tom Waits and producer Robert Wilson, was on a new stage musical in February 2010.
The trilogy begins with The Beauty Queen of Leenane, which is the story of a spinster and her domineering mother, during which the former has her last chance of dating, and the latter faces a gruesome ending. The performance was well received on its first night in Galway in 1996, and the Atlantic Theater Company's Off-Broadway version was next produced. In April 1998, the performance was revived to Broadway and was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Play.
A Skull in Connemara is the second part of the trilogy, and it involves a Connemara man who is hired to exhume skeletons in an overcrowded graveyard, as well as the woman whom he had earlier been accused of killing. In 1997 at the Town Hall Theatre in Galway, the play premiered. The play was staged at the Royal Court Theatre (London) and made its US premiere at the A Contemporary Theatre (ACT) in Seattle, Washington, in July to August 2000. At the Gramercy Theatre, produced by the Roundabout Theatre, the play ran Off-Broadway from January to May 2001.
The Lonesome West is the story of two brothers bickering in the aftermath of their father's allegedly accidental shooting. In 1999, the performance premiered on Broadway and received a Tony Award nomination for Best Play.
In this film, a homeless teenager aspires to be the protagonist of Inishmaan. The performance at the Royal National Theatre (Cottesloe) in London opened in 1997. The Joseph Papp Public Theater opened in April 1998 Off-Broadway, with Ruaidhri Conroy playing the title role on both occasions. Frederick Koehler appeared in the Geffen Playhouse production in Los Angeles, California, in 1998. The Cripple of Inishmaan was produced Off-Broadway by the Atlantic Theater Company in collaboration with the Druid Theatre Company of Galway, Ireland, in December 2008.
The Lieutenant of Inishmore is the sequel to the 1993 Warrington bombings, in which two children were killed by the IRA. It's a dark comedy in which the insane leader of an INLA (Irish National Liberation Army) splinter group discovers that his best friend, a cat, has been killed. The Atlantic Theater Company produced the play Off-Broadway in February 2006. It debuted in May 2006 and received a 2006 Tony Award nomination for Best Play.
Banshees of Inisheer, the Aran Islands trilogy's finale, is unproduced and unpublished. It's "a portrait of an ageing writer with diminishing skills." McDonagh was said to be working on a film with the same name as a name as of February 2020. It is unknown if it is related to or based on the unproduced play.
The Pillowman
A writer in a non-specified totalitarian state is being questioned over the content of several of his Brothers Grimm-style short stories. In 2004, the performance received the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play, as well as a 2005 Tony Award nomination for Best Play.
A Behanding in Spokane
Carmichael's character has been searching for his missing left hand for a quarter of a century, according to a play. In March 2010, the play first appeared on Broadway. The play was nominated for the 2010 Drama League award, Distinguished Production of a Play.
Hangmen
After the abolition of hanging in Great Britain in 1965, Harry Wade, England's second best hangman, appeared in a play. In September 2015, the play premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in London. In 2016, Laurence Olivier was named Best New Play in the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play. Hangmen appeared briefly on Broadway at the John Golden Theatre in 2020, starring Mark Addy and Dan Stevens, before being halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This time with David Threlfall and Alfie Allen, the show appeared on Broadway in 2022. Critical commentators, including New York Times theatre critic Jesse Green, wrote, "[Hangmen] seems to be a good fit for our difficult times."
A Very Very Very Dark Matter
A play set in a Copenhagen townhouse that reveals the author's tales, as well as author Charles Dickens. In October 2018, it debuted at the Bridge Theatre in London.
McDonagh has said that he prefers writing novels to plays because he has a "respect for the entire history of cinema" and a small disrespect for theatre. McDonagh's interview with Irish drama critic Fintan O'Toole in BOMB's December 1998 edition, he elaborated.
McDonagh's "now appears more resigned to the drama's storytelling abilities," the New York Times writer noted in an interview in 2005, though still dismissive of its inherent elitism. 'It's sort of strange to work in an art form that isn't well known,' he stops and starts again. "It's strange to be working in an art form that costs $100 to participate in." When talking about his expulsion from London theatre and promoting his new play Hangmen, McDonagh said that theater "is never going to be edgy in the way I want it to be."
McDonagh's short film Six Shooter (2004), which is his first film that he wrote and directed, received an Academy Award in 2006. Brendan Gleeson, Raidhr Conroy, David Wilmot, and Aisling O'Sullivan appear in this black comedy (as are his plays). It was shot on location in Wicklow, Waterford, and Rosslare. In the short film, Gleeson's character meets a strange, possibly psychotic young man on a train ride homeward after his wife's death.
McDonagh signed an agreement with Focus Features film production firm to direct In Bruges, a feature-length film based on his own screenplay. After a difficult career, two Irish hitmen hid in Bruges, Flemish. Colin Farrell, Ralph Fiennes, and Brendan Gleeson appear in the film, which was released in the United States in 2008. McDonagh received a nomination for Best Original Screenplay at the 2008 Sundance Festival and the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival in Bruges, and he received a nomination for Best Original Screenplay at the 81st Academy Awards.
McDonagh said in an interview with Stop Smiling magazine in 2008 that, "I've got a few scripts that are ready to go." Until I've travelled and had some amusement, I'm not going to do anything with them for a few years. There is also Seven Psychopaths; if I make another film, it will be the case. "I hope you enjoy it," says the author. The film was announced in May 2011, and it was eventually released in North America on October 12, 2012. In the film, Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson, Christopher Walken, Christopher Walken, Christopher Walken, and Tom Waits appear.
McDonagh wrote and directed his drama Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, starring Frances McDormand, Woody Harrelson, and Sam Rockwell, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival on September 4th and received the People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 17, 2017. At the 2017 Golden Globes, three Billboards received four awards, including Best Screenplay for McDonagh. Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay for the film were both nominated by Academy Award for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay.
McDonagh's next film project, The Banshees of Inisherin, was announced in 2020, starring Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell. COVID-19's production was postponed, but shooters began in August 2021 and ended on October 2321. On the 5th Venice International Film Festival in 2022, the film made its world premiere and is scheduled for a limited theatrical debut on October 21, 2022.
