With ‘Hangmen,’ Kinetic Theatre Brings McDonagh’s Gallows Humor to Carnegie

If there is such a thing as the “best hangman,” then it stands to reason that there is a second best. 

Martin McDonagh’s dark comedy, “Hangmen,” is based loosely on the well-chronicled life of Albert Pierrepoint, the English hangman who executed hundreds of people, including 200 wartime criminals.

Kinetic Theatre, with producing artistic director Andrew Paul at the helm, will stage the play’s Pittsburgh premiere, opening August 7, 2025, at Carnegie Stage.
