Review of The Banshees of Inisherin (2022) by Michael Phillips for Chicago Tribune — 26 Oct 2022
The result is McDonagh’s most fully realized work since his breakthrough play, “The Beauty Queen of Leenane,” a generation ago. “Banshees” has its limitations; it’s pretty glib, like everything McDonagh writes, in its mashup of blackhearted laughs and occasional sincerity.
He’s akin to the Coen brothers in that regard. He’s also a formidable craftsman and his best lines are pearls.
