McDonagh's film debut short. Martin's a prolific Irish playwright, many of his plays from 1996 centred around County Galway. The brothers' relationship with Brendan Gleeson I think stems from here (Gleeson was very active in the Irish theatre), which is essentially a two-hander between him and slightly psycho Ruaidhri Conroy. As dark and darkly funny as the rest of his work, it won him his first Oscar.
