Britain’s most notorious hangman
Albert Pierrepoint was a legend of the gallows. Harry Wade… not so much. Now it’s 1965, the death penalty is gone, and Harry’s pulling pints instead of ropes.

A stranger. A disappearance. A dark twist.
When a journalist reopens old rivalries, Harry can’t resist taking a swipe at Pierrepoint’s reputation. But then Mooney walks into the pub… and Harry’s daughter vanishes.

Comedy as black as pitch.
From Olivier Award-winner Martin McDonagh (The Cripple of Inishmaan), Hangmen delivers razor-sharp wit and edge-of-your-seat suspense. HumDrum Theatre brings it to The Spring in an amateur production presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd.

Running time: 155 mins (including an interval)
Age guidance: 14+ (Adult themes, some offensive ‘of its time’ language, two on-stage hangings)
