“Queen of Leena” was written in 1996 and is the first play by the British playwright Martin McDon, an Irishman. McDon is currently one of the brightest contemporary playwrights, having won numerous awards, and is the screenwriter and director of several Academy Award-winning films, such as Three Announcements at Ebing, Missouri, etc.
Martin Makdon’s name is no stranger to the audience of Liepāja Theater – his plays were staged several times, the last of them – “Klibais no Inišmāna” – in 2015.
“The Queen of Leena” is a story about the toxic relationship between mother and daughter. The two live in a small village in Ireland, Leenen, spending their days in an endless routine, living in rebuke against each other.
“Sometimes I dream that … anything. Anything that would be different than it is now,” Morina says in the play, hoping to break away from loneliness and her mother’s manipulative influence. Until one day, Pato appears in the village, giving real hope for happiness. Will this love be fulfilled?
Actors Mārtiņš Kalita, Inese Kučinska, Kaspars Gods and Artūrs Irbe will take part in the performance.
Set designer Mārtiņš Vilkārsis, costume designer Ilze Vītoliņa, assistant director and choreographer Linda Kalniņa and lighting artist Mārtiņš Feldmanis also work on the production together with the director.
