Martin McDonagh's Hangmen officially opens on Broadway April 21 at the Golden Theatre. The Olivier-winning comedy had played only 13 preview performances when Broadway went dark in March 2020. It returned April 8 for a limited 10-week engagement, set to continue through June 18.

Alfie Allen (Game of Thrones), in his Broadway debut, and Tony nominee David Threlfall (Nicholas Nickleby, Shameless), back on Broadway after a 25-year absence, lead the cast of the dark comedy. The story centers on Harry (Threlfall), a hangman who finds himself unemployed on the day that hanging is abolished. Set in a small pub in Northern England in the 1960s, regulars gather to hear Harry's reaction to the news when a mysterious stranger from London, Mooney (Allen), enters their world.

The company also includes two-time Olivier winner and Tony nominee Tracie Bennett (End of the Rainbow, Follies), Owen Campbell, Jeremy Crutchley, Olivier Bursary Award winner Gaby French, Josh Goulding, John Hodgkinson, Richard Hollis, John Horton, and Ryan Pope, with Sebastian Beacon, Peter Bradbury, Gina CostiganKatie Fabel, Colin McPhillamy, and Andy Nyman.

Matthew Dunster directs the Royal Court Theatre/Atlantic Theater Company production.

Hangmen features set and costume design by Olivier winner Anna Fleischle, with lighting design by Joshua Carr and sound design by Olivier Award winner Ian Dickinson. Casting is by Amy Ball and The Telsey Office's Adam Caldwell.

Robert Fox, Jean Doumanian, and Craig Balsam produce.
