"In Martin McDonagh's first American-set play, Carmichael has been searching for his missing left hand for a quarter of a century. Enter two bickering lovebirds with a hand to sell, and a hotel clerk with an aversion to gunfire, and we're set for a hilarious roller coaster of love, hate, desperation, and hope"--P. [4] of cover.
