Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaMartin McDonagh’s “Hangmen,” an early casualty of the COVID-19 pandemic, will at long last have its Broadway premiere.The show will begin performances Friday, April 8 and open Thursday, April 21 for a limited 10-week engagement. “Hangmen” was in previews in 2020 when coronavirus upended life, forcing Broadway theaters to close for over a year and bringing the live events business to its knees.
It never even made it to its official opening night of March 19, 2020. When the show’s producers initially announced that the production would shutter, it seemed as though the cost of remounting the play would prove too great and Broadway crowds would never get a look at McDonagh’s latest.
There are a few changes in the cast, however. “Hangmen” was initially supposed to star Mark Addy of “Game of Thrones” and “Full Monty” fame and “Downton Abbey” actor Dan Stevens.
Instead, Addy’s role of Harry, a local British hangman who finds himself without a job on the day hanging is abolished, will be played by David Threlfall, best known for his work in the London and Broadway productions of “Nicholas Nickleby.” He will be joined by Addy’s “Game of Thrones” co-star Alfie Allen, who will be making his Broadway debut.“Hangmen” also features Tracie Bennett, Owen Campbell, Jeremy Crutchley, Gaby French, Josh Goulding, John Hodgkinson, Richard Hollis, John Horton, Olivier Award, Andy Nyman and Ryan Pope. Additional cast members include Sebastian Beacon, Peter Bradbury, Katie Fabel and Colin McPhillamy.The show unfolds in Harry’s small pub in the North of England in the mid-1960s, where he has become something of a local celebrity.
