Site on Martin McDonagh

http://www.litencyc.com/php/speople.php?rec=true&UID=5811

I found this site to be very informative on Martin McDonagh. It starts out going into detail of when and where McDonagh was born and raised. It then gets in to his whole life story and how he became a successful playwright. I like the fact that it tells us more about the playwright and theat it goes into full detail about his first play "The Beauty Queen of Leenane." The site also tells us that the play got him six nominations for the Tony Award and that out of those six he actually won four. Later the play won three writing awards which for him was a big accomplishment. I find this article very interesting and very informing of Martin McDonagh. I have not yet gotten to the lesson where we read this play but this article makes me very excited to do so.
