HANGMEN

HANGMEN

Playing in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Studio Theater

Aug. 29 – Sept. 26, 2026

By Martin McDonagh

Directed by Carl DaSilva

In his small pub in Oldham, Harry 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 sycophantic pub regulars dying to hear Harry’s reaction to the news, a peculiar stranger lurks, with a very different motive for his visit. Martin McDonagh does it again in HANGMEN, a corrosively funny black comedy filled with dramatic tension in a juicy tale of capital punishment that will leave you “hanging” on the edge of your seat with suspense and devilish delight.

A Big THANK YOU to the Port of Long Beach for Sponsoring the 2026 Studio Season!
