劊子手 Hangmen 

《意外》鬼才編導馬丁·麥克唐納作品 
奧立弗最佳新劇獎得主　無門檻又深刻的黑色喜劇 
奧立弗與奧斯卡獎得主、電影《意外》的鬼才編導馬丁·麥克唐納(Martin McDonagh)2015年劇作《劊子手》，由宣導新寫作的倫敦皇家宮廷劇院出品，以同樣的黑色幽默榮獲奧立弗最佳新劇獎！ 

在英國北部小城奧爾德姆的小酒館裡，哈利·韋德可是這裡的名人。但就在1965年廢除絞刑的那天，聞訊趕來的記者和酒吧的常客們，都急切地想知道這個英格蘭第二大劊子手哈利將對此作何反應。而混進人群中的一個奇怪的陌生人，似乎有著不同尋常的來訪動機… 

由《陰屍路》裡的大衛·莫瑞賽(David Morrissey)和《浴血黑幫》中的安迪·尼曼(Andy Nyman)領銜主演，帶來無門檻又深刻的黑色喜劇。荒誕可笑、結構嚴謹、機智又一針見血的對白，《劊子手》延續了馬丁·麥克唐納的一貫風格，搭配60年代質感強烈的舞臺設計，更為本劇增加看頭。 

Following a sell-out run at London’s Royal Court Theatre, Olivier and Academy Award® winner Martin McDonagh (The Pillowman, The Cripple of Inishmaan, In Bruges) returns to the West End with Matthew Dunster’s award-winning production of his deeply funny new play Hangmen, broadcast live to cinemas by National Theatre Live. 

In his small pub in the northern English town of Oldham, Harry (David Morrissey – The Walking Dead, State of Play) 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, Death at a Funeral) and the peculiar Mooney (Johnny Flynn – Clouds of Sils Maria) lurk with very different motives for their visit.
