HANGMEN received its world premiere at The Royal Court Theatre in 2015, and featured David Morrissey, and Reece Shearsmith among others. Set primarily in Oldham in 1965 at the pub of landlord Harry Wade, the second- best hangman in England, around the time that hanging was abolished. Harry has become something of a local celebrity amongst the sycophantic pub regulars, local reporters, wife, and daughter.  Naturally all of Oldham, northern England, wants to know what Harry 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, a peculiar stranger,  with a darker and more mysterious agenda.
