Some of the greatest comic moments come from when high-stakes situations run into very petty roadblocks -- e.g., a potentially gruesome murder gets derailed by a longer-than-expected phone call with Mom. This play had made me burst out laughing just from the words on the page, I can only imagine what it would be like staged.The only concern I have with the script is that the characters tend to repeat themselves a lot, especially to convey information to other characters who were offstage the first time the information came up. In a staged production, it would be important to vary the tone and intent of these re-tellings, so those bits stay interesting and don't just get repetitive.Also, reading about the originating cast, it is hard not to associate the character of Carmichael with Christopher Walken. You can easily imagine Walken's cadence running through every line of that character, and it might be tempting for other actors to just imitate Walken, rather than find the character afresh. I would recommend groups looking to put on this play to think hard about the kind of actor they want to cast in this part and the kind of performance they are seeking from it.All of that said, this play moves very fast, is very funny, and grips you from the opening scene to the end! Five stars. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Postmodern drama *by Q***Q on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 16, 2013* A one-handed man is on a quest to find his lost hand, which he claims was cut off and stolen from him by a gang of "hillbillies." It's unknown what exactly he will do with said hand once he finds it, but he has a strong sense of ownership toward the hand, which, he points out, is categorically his after all.The play all takes place in a hotel room, where he is holding a young black man and his girlfriend hostage. Carmichael, the protagonist, is a brutal yet sensitive man who plans to kill without question the young couple who promised to deliver him his hand but failed to do so. He also has a suitcase full of hands, not his. His mother plays a comic part by phone. There's plenty of profanity and violence, either threatened or described. It's mildly entertaining, but it's not clear what the target of the author's satire is; or if the whole play is just an absurdist farce.The playwright is clearly indebted to the fiction of Flannery O'Connor. None of the characters can be called "realistic," although they would not be out of place in a Tarantino, David Lynch, or Coen Bros. movie; and the play's characters are perversely appealing in the same sense as some of the characters in those films. Unfortunately, the play never achieves the sublimity of those directors' best work nor Flannery O'Connor's. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Theatre of the Grotesque *by E***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 9, 2020* I enjoyed it, and would buy more from this playwright. McDonaugh is an icon in the theatre of the grotesque genre, which is the reason I sought out this play. The quality of the paper is what you'd expect from Dramatists Play Service, which is to say that it's good. Love their prints. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/3688628-a-behanding-in-spokane-paperback-june-9-2011](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/3688628-a-behanding-in-spokane-paperback-june-9-2011) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
