Also at the LSPU Hall, the Beothuck Street Players staged two intense dramas. Martin McDonagh's darkly comic The Beauty Queen of Leenane, set in creepy auld Ireland, took the best-production award at the provincial drama festival. Their other show was Frank McGuinness s moving story of three westerners taken hostage in Lebanon. Someone Who ll Watch Over Me featured a claustrophobic, prison-cell set and very strong performances by Mike Coady, Fred Hawksley and Kevin Lewis. In November, the company deftly capped an artistically successful year with an affecting production of Ellen Byron s Graceland, a story of lost love and hero worship, set in Louisiana.
