It wouldn't be surprising to hear theatres have refused Mr. McDonagh's most recent play, A Very Very Very Dark Matter, which played at the Bridge in London in 2018 - it came across as a lazy, slipshod first draft from a writer who didn't understand that there's a difference between exposing racist/colonialist attitudes and simply making racist jokes at the expense of the play's one black character. It was a mess, and it didn't work on any level. If anything, the surprise is that the Bridge agreed to produce it.
