A Behanding in Spokane
I just saw a play on Broadway called A Behanding in Spokane. It was great to see the play, and to see my brothers and Marra again. My younger brother had been raving about the play’s author, Martin McDonagh, who’s also known for writing and directing the black comedy In Bruges.
It was a fun time, although plays aren’t really my thing. I’d much rather be gaming. So it goes, with geeky me.
The play was good to watch and quite funny, although (warning: spoilers below)…
…any play with a one-handed, insane Christopher Walken and an unpredictable, fatalistic Sam Rockwell ought to end in bloodshed. I thought McDonagh pulled his punch at the end, letting everyone live. But perhaps all the time I’ve spent researching The Grand Guignol is coming back to bite me.
