News about Martin McDonagh

In a bold move which signals ­considerable ambition, Lily Allen, 38, will play Hedda Gabler in a new adaptation of Ibsen's play titled Hedda, by British director Matthew Dunster. It will be only her third stage role, following a well-received stint in 2:22 A Ghost Story - in which she was directed by Dunster - and a slightly less well-received ­performance in Martin McDonagh's The Pillowman. Ingrid Bergman, Peggy Ashcroft, Maggie Smith , Diana Rigg, Cate Blanchett , Glenda Jackson and Rosamund Pike have all played Ibsen's manipulative, tragic heroine.

Since her hit comedy Fleabag launched her to international prominence, she has been Britain's best girl ever. However, Phoebe Waller-Bridge's company's earnings went well last year, despite her tumultuous alter ego. The actress and author, 38, may be about to get the happy ending that alluded Fleabag as she has fuelled rumors that she is engaged to filmmaker and playwright Martin McDonagh.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge, a Fleabag designer, is reported to have raking in a whopping £43,000 per day.

Lily Allen is earning praise for her new West End role, but she admits that it has broken her motherhood - a girl she hasn't seen in weeks. Ethel, 11, and Marnie, 10, from a former marriage to builder Sam Cooper, the singer and actress shares a home in New York City with her partner David Harbour and her daughters.

The charming little bar in Inisherin's hit Irish film The Banshees of Inisherin has gained a following around the world - perhaps none more popular than US pop sensation Taylor Swift. Indeed, the singer told film's Oscar-nominated director Martin McDonagh that if the boozer was ever rebuilt, she would return to visit it if it was ever rebuilt - after the pub was torn down in Achill Island, County Mayo, after production. However, Luke Mee, who runs JJ Devine's Public House in Galway, has purchased the pub from the movie set and rebuilt it exactly as it appeared in the film starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson. And, he's now invited Swift to visit the boozer when it opens next month and enjoy a pint of Guinness.

The setting of Martin McDonagh's much-lauded The Banshees of Inisherin (top left) has been reassembled inside a family-run pub in Galway, west Ireland. JJ Devine's Public House stands as the backdrop to several of the main scenes in the drama starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson (pictured top left), which received nine nominations in the Academy Awards. The set was quickly dismantled and its parts lay in a yard for months after publican Luke Mee expressed an interest. The wooden beams and bar now adorn Mee's Bar in Kilkerrin, Galway, Ireland.

After its first night at the Duke Of York Theatre on Wednesday, Lily Allen's debut in Martin McDonagh's The Pillowman has received skepticism from critics. In the revival of the 2003 play, which follows the fiction writer as she is imprisoned by a totalitarian state, the singer has taken on the gender-swapped role of Katurian. However, despite ditching her traditionally chic looks for a more bloody and bruised appearance, critics weren't so keen on the revival.

The 2023 Met Gala is a Karl Lagerfeld tribute, meaning that the 1 May gala show has been a rich display of vintage Chanel looks and modern interpretations of the designer's work. However, several of Lagerfeld's most memorable looks have been born out of a little more unusual part of his life: both Jared Leto and Doja Cat wore special tributes to Choupette, Lagerfeld's beloved cat. In comparison to his pioneering work in fashion design, the designer leaves behind a turbulent legacy as he was known for misogyny, fatphobia, and homophobia. But Choupette's legendary love for the French Revolution is a particularly touching part of his biography, making her a logical muse for more adventurous visitors. The elegant Birman was a member of Lagerfeld for a decade and has lived her life in the lap of luxury. Lagerfeld wrote in Harper's Bazaar in 2012 that she ate meals of croquette and paté, rode on private jets, and had her own iPad.

The renowned playwright, 53, reveals how some theatre companies have declined to produce his plays because he refused to make the performances more 'palatable.' The writer, who wrote and directed The Banshees of Inisherin, compared the practice of writers being asked to rewrite what they've written for sensitivity-related reasons as 'problematic.'

Lesley PATERSON: I know you are always ravenous after a run. It's nothing compared to how hungry you are after an Oscars performance, when you've been so absorbed in the ridiculous outfit that you haven't considered about food. To be honest, I was too tummy to eat anything else. How ironic that it was the sportswoman in the room whose body barely failed her. As I was waiting for the news that I was going to be a Oscar winner, my knees went. I thought I was going to throw up in the seat - all over my beautiful designer dress! OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD' was all I was thinking.

The 95th Annual Academy Awards are set to take place on Sunday, with the best and brightest recognized for their work in Hollywood over the past year. The ceremony is forever regarded as the grand finale of awards season, coming at the end of a long line of glitzy red carpets and glamorous dinners. However, this year hasn't been without controversy, with some favorites losing out on recognition, while other prizes going to unknowns.

For many years, there had been a certain belief about the Academy Awards, that the nimble ones would always honor the safest films and let the best pictures (read: the more prestigious, more emotionally resonant ones) go unrecognized save for their nominations. But no more! A slew of really good Oscars winners in the night's top category of Best Picture has emerged over the past half-decade or so. Moonlight, Parasite, and Nomadland?All great films! And so we arrived at 2023, where an incredibly inventive and dazzling film like Everything Everywhere at All Once is not just nominated, but also selected to win the largest Oscar of the night as a result of a lot of chatter and other major awards awards. That's pretty cool, dude. It's also cool that no one knows if it'll happen. Another snapshot, perhaps a thief underdog, could swoop in and nab Best Picture, which may have been something that EEAAO may not have even considered just a few years ago.
