This Student Edition features expert and helpful annotation, including a scene-by-scene summary, a detailed commentary on the dramatic, social and political context, and on the themes, characters, language and structure of the play, as well a list of suggested reading and questions for further study and a review of performance history.The Lonesome West was first presented as a Druid Theatre company and Royal Court co-production in the summer of 1997, and is the final part of McDonagh's Leenane trilogy. This edition explores the play's substantial themes and textured controversy, which make it such a popular choice to study: the Catholic Church is exposed as irrelevant and powerless and the characters have a dangerously skewed sense of morality. The text is full of McDonagh's characteristic combination of farce, aggression and wit. The plot follows two brothers, Valene and Coleman, living alone in their father's house after his recent death. They find it impossible to exist without massive and violent disputes over the most mundane and innocent of topics. Only Father Welsh, the local young priest, is prepared to try to reconcile the two before their petty squabblings spiral into vicious and bloody carnage.Martin McDonagh is the most controversial Irish dramatist working today, with his explorations of Irish national identity which look at the darker side of provincial life. His bleak but blackly comic portrayal of modern, rural Ireland courts debate with its dark farce, caricatures of violence and barbarism and an exaggerated, poeticised dialect of Hiberno-English.… (altro)

This is a translation of the play The Lonesome West, which looks at the lives of two lonely quarrelsome brothers living together in Connemara.

Une des lectures qui m’a le plus réjouie ces dernières semaines est la pièce de théâtre de l’irlandais Martin McDonagh, L’Ouest solitaire. Il s’agit de la première pièce de théâtre irlandaise que je lis. Cela se passe dans l’Ouest de l’Irlande en un temps où “le célibat demeure le mode de vie le plus fréquent et où les hommes restent parfois vierges jusqu’à leur mort”. Je vous laisse deviner comme j’ai ri à la lecture de la quatrième de couverture.

Plus sérieusement, la pièce met en scène deux frères qui vivent depuis toujours ensemble . L’un vient de tuer le père car il s’est moqué de sa coiffure ; l’autre le fait chanter pour obtenir l’ensemble de l’héritage. Le meurtrier accepte et se retrouve sous la coupe de son frère.

Là-dessus se greffe un curé trop sensible, qui prend tout trop à cœur. Pensez ! Il en est à son troisième meurtre en peu de temps. Cela le turlupine et le pousse à noyer son chagrin dans l’alcool (un peu comme toute la population d’ailleurs). Il y a aussi la jolie jeune fille qui vend l’alcool de son père. Elle est un peu dévergondée et rêve aussi de vivre autrement. L’enjeu de la pièce est de savoir si les deux frères peuvent se réconcilier.

Plus que le tragique auquel on pourrait s’attendre en lisant la quatrième de couverture, j’ai beaucoup ri en lisant cette pièce. En effet, la petite communauté est très pittoresque et a des propos très francs, vis à vis de la religion notamment, moyen utilisé pour dénoncer une rigueur morale inappropriée à la vie quotidienne. Cela contraste beaucoup avec la querelle infantile des deux frères.

Un moment agréable de lecture qui m’a donné envie de découvrir un peu plus le théâtre irlandais contemporain (en suivant les liens proposés par LibraryThing). ( )
