вЂњI had to eradicate my memory of the performance I saw,вЂќ Allen explains, so confounded was he by the piece initially. He first encountered the play during its West End run in 2015, when the role was played by Johnny Flynn. ( Hangmen is also up for best play, best leading actor, best scenic design, and best lighting design.) IвЂ™m still pinching myself,вЂќ he says of the nod, for best featured actor in a play, one of the showвЂ™s five. For Allen, whose turn as Mooney marks his Broadway debut, the news has yet to sink in. In the intervening two years, Allen and Threlfall joined the cast, and both were nominated for Tonys in April. Written by Martin McDonagh ( The Pillowman, The Lieutenant of Inishmore) and directed by Matthew Dunster, the production was meant to premiere in March of 2020 but never made it to opening night due to the COVID-19 pause on Broadway. AllenвЂ™s character, Mooney, arrives on the scene out of nowhere as an uncannily polished sophisticate among the local, bleary-eyed barflies-who he is, where he came from, and, perhaps most importantly, what heвЂ™s after are the central mysteries of a piece that has as many twists as a hangmanвЂ™s rope. through the lens of Harry Wade, the countryвЂ™s second most prolific former hangman (played by ShamelessвЂ™s David Threlfall), who now pours pints instead of tying nooses. Alfie Allen, who is currently starring in the Tony-nominated thriller Hangmen on Broadway, describes the showвЂ™s plot in three words: вЂњNothing is certain.вЂќ Set in the mid-вЂ™60s at a pub in the northwest county of Lancashire, it consders the end of capital punishment in the U.K.
