Set
in a land steeped in violence, The Lieutenant of Inishmore follows the
story of Padraic, an Irish terrorist, who returns home to find his
beloved cat, Wee Thomas, is dead. Unstable at the best of times,
Padraic will stop at nothing to avenge the death of his childhood
companion. An Olivier award winning black comedy from Irish playwright
Martin McDonagh, The Lieutenant of Inishmore takes a wickedly satirical
look at violence and how it is glamorized in the modern age.
A Queensland premiere, The Lieutenant of Inishmore is not for the faint hearted.
