3. The Motherf**ker with the Hat
Struggles with addiction, friendship, love, and the challenges of adulthood are at the center of this story. Jackie, a petty drug dealer, is just out of prison and trying to stay clean. He’s also still in love with his coke-addicted childhood sweetheart, Veronica. Ralph D. is Jackie’s too-smooth, slightly slippery sponsor. He’s married to the bitter and disaffected Victoria, who, by the way, has the hots for Jackie. And then there’s Julio, Jackie’s cousin…a stand-up, “stand by me” kind of guy. This tight, smart and splendidly well-made, tough-minded, unromantic romantic dark comedy will keep you laughing and then send you home thinking. Nominated for 6 2011 Tony Awards, including Best Play

4. Hangmen
HANGMEN by Martin McDonagh It’s 1965, and the death penalty has just been abolished in the United Kingdom. Naturally all of Oldham, northern England, wants to know what Harry, the second-best hangman in the country, has to say about it. As the news breaks, Harry’s pub is overrun with locals and reporters looking for a quote, until a visitor arrives with a darker and more mysterious agenda.​“HANGMEN is a thoroughly great play…riveting from start to finish. Almost every line is laugh-out-loud funny, every moment filled with dramatic tension.” —The Times (UK).
