The Lonely West

Kyiv Academic Theater of Drama and Comedy on the Left Bank of the Dnieper Kyiv, Brovarsky Ave., 25

"Lonely West" at the Left Bank Theatre is an explosive mix of Irish temperament, black humor and deep drama from the iconic Martin McDonagh. Imagine Connemara: two brothers, one house and an endless series of conflicts that balance on the border between domestic quarrel and bloody massacre.

Your legal way to organize "anti-everyday" in the theatre

When life begins to resemble a vicious circle, and everyday life is oppressive, Numotamo suggests a path to emotional detox. The genre of the performance is defined as bad/good trip, and it is an ideal option to reduce stress levels through reflection and sharp intellectual humor. At Numotamo.com we know: this is an opportunity to go out into the world, put aside procrastination and fill your own "treasure chest of memories" with a work from the author of the hits "Lie Down in Bruges" and "Banshees of Inisheer".

"Lonely West" is a complex, gloomy and incredibly moving work, in which biblical myths, modern realities, issues of family and faith are magically intertwined.

Why everyone should see this play:

  • World-class dramaturgy: Martin McDonagh personally supports Ukraine, granting the right to a free production of his play during martial law.
  • Director's vision: production by Oleksandr Sokolov - the first winner of the "Customs. New Direction" festival named after E. Mytnytsky.
  • A brilliant ensemble: the leading actors of the theater are on stage, embodying the complex and contradictory images of the brothers Valen and Coleman, as well as the young priest who tries in vain to reconcile them.
  • Atmosphere of immersion: 2 hours and 20 minutes of intense experience with an intermission, where the modern realities of life are explored through the prism of irony and loneliness.

“Lonely West” is an intellectual challenge that leaves a long aftertaste. It is convenient to check the current dates in the schedule of sessions and book tickets online at Numotamo to ensure an evening that takes you out of the context of everyday life. Choose your journey, and allow yourself to feel the full power of real theater.
