Following a sell-out run at London’s Royal Court Theatre, Olivier and Academy Award winner Martin McDonagh (The Pillowman, In Bruges) returns to the West End with Matthew Dunster’s award-winning production of his deeply funny new play Hangmen. In his small pub in the northern English town of Oldham, Harry (David Morrissey) 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) and the peculiar Mooney (Johnny Flynn) lurk with very different motives for their visit.

Join King Arthur and his squire Patsy as they search for new recruits to join the Knights of the Round Table. On the way, they run into master swordsman the Black Knight, learn how to tell if someone is a witch, and most importantly, the migratory habits of coconuts & swallows. Fun fact: the crew used a real rabbit for the infamous scene and dyed it red, thinking it was easily washable. It turns out it wasn’t as the cast desperately attempted to clean the bunny – all while its owner was on set! So consult your copy of the Book of Armaments to cast the Holy Grenade of Antioch and don’t forget to bring your coconuts to this timeless cult comedy projected in glorious 35mm.
