The Lieutenant of Inishmore

Martin McDonagh’s blisteringly funny, pitch-black dark comedy thriller 'The Lieutenant of Inishmore' arrived at the Lyceum Theatre in 2006, running for an accomplished 142 performances and capturing five major Tony Award nominations including Best Play following its Atlantic Theater run. Set inside a gritty, isolated cottage in rural Ireland in 1993, the frantic farcical plot follows Padraic, a volatile, hyper-violent paramilitary terrorist who is considered too unhinged for the IRA, who abandons his torture campaigns to return home in a frantic panic when he discovers his beloved pet black cat has been mysteriously killed, triggering a blood-soaked domino effect. Directed by Wilson Milam.
