NT Live: Hangmen

From the National Theatre's 2015-2016 season of live recordings direct from the London stage, this is Matthew Dunster’s award-winning production of Martin McDonagh's new comedy, Hangmen.

"In his small pub in the northern English town of Oldham, Harry (David Morrissey, The Walking Dead) is something of a local celebrity. But what's the second-best hangman in England to do on the day they've abolished hanging? Amongst the cub reporters and pub regulars dying to hear Harry’s reaction to the news, his old assistant Syd (Andy Nyman, Peaky Blinders) and the peculiar Mooney (Johnny Flynn, Clouds of Sils Maria) lurk with very different motives for their visit." (National Theatre)
