SYNOPSIS
Who knocked Mad Padraic’s cat over on a lonely road on the island of Inishmore and was it an accident? He’ll want to know when he returns 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. This dark comedy combines razor-sharp dialogue with a twisting plot while acting as a commentary on terrorism and violence in contemporary society.
The Lieutenant of Inishmore has been produced twice in the West End, winning the Laurence Olivier award for Best Comedy in 2003; and on Broadway, where it received a Tony Award. McDonagh is also well-known for writing the films In Bruges, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, and the 2022 film The Banshees of Inisherin.
