THE LIEUTENANT OF INISHMORE
The Lieutenant of Inishmore
By Martin McDonagh Directed by Kathryn Thomas and Mitch Garling 10 - 26 May 2024 On a lonely road on the island of Inishmore, someone killed Mad Padraic’s cat. He’ll want to know who did it when he gets back from a stint of torture and chip-shop bombing in Northern Ireland. He loves his cat more than life itself, and someone is going to pay. Set in the 1990s, The Lieutenant of Inishmore is a clever satire on terrorism, the beautification of violence in contemporary culture and a hilarious farce in true McDonagh fashion. This brazen and unapologetically blood-curdling farce combines comedy and violence in a darkly funny portrait of rivalries among terrorists for whom killing, torturing and bombing are just day-jobs. “One of the greatest and most improbable comedies of the decade” - The Guardian "A FEARLESS, SAVAGELY FUNNY SATIRE" - The Daily Telegraph "MARTIN MCDONAGH'S PLAY IS THE DARKEST AND FUNNIEST HE HAS EVER WRITTEN" - Financial Times "I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS POSSIBLE FOR A PLAY THIS BLOODY TO BE SO FUNNY" - BroadwayWorld By arrangement with Origin Theatrical Australia on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. Group discounts available for school bookings. Teachers free: www.trybooking.com/CNBYD Q&A sessions available after the performance for school group bookings.
