The Department of Theatre and Dance at Texas State University will present the black comedy play, A Behanding in Spokane, from Nov. 6-9 at 7:30 p.m.

This event will be held at the Patti Strickel Harrison Foundation Studio Theatre. Tickets are $15 for adults and $8 for students. Tickets are available for purchase at www.txstatepresents.com.

A Behanding in Spokane centers on a man’s desperate search for his missing hand that was lost 27 years prior in a bizarre railroad accident, two bickering lovebird scam artists with a hand to sell and a lonely receptionist.

The play is written by award-winning Irish playwright Martin McDonagh and directed by Daniel Anderson. A Behanding in Spokane is McDonagh’s first American-set play. The play premiered in New York City in 2010 with lead actor Christopher Walken.
