Oscar-winning Irish director Martin McDonagh said theaters refused to stage his work and tried to change the script language. He reported that BBC Today.
Despite being a successful director and playwright, he says the management at theaters tries to “make certain words more appealing to them or what they think their audiences represent.”
He described this as a serious problem, accusing theaters of pettiness and arbitrariness. He added that theaters have become a “dangerous place” for writers.
Previously, McDonagh’s dark tragicomedy “The Banshee of Inisherina”, available rental in foreign online cinemas. The movie will be released for users in Canada on the Disney+ subscription service tomorrow, December 14, and in the UK and Ireland on December 21.
Also on December 20, 20th Century Studios Home Entertainment will release the movie in physical form.
The tape depicts an argument between two friends living on the fictional island of Inisherin in the early 1920s. They are played by Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson, who had previously starred in McDonagh’s feature film debut, 2007’s Lay Down in Bruges.
