Chris Pine, Ian Alda, Andrew Connolly, Coby Getzug, Seán G. Griffin, Kevin Kearns, Zoe Perry, and Brett Ryback will star in the Center Theatre Group’s production of Martin McDonagh’s The Lieutenant of Inishmore, to run June 30-August 8 at the Mark Taper Forum. The production, which will open officially on July 11, will be directed by Wilson Milam.

The show is set in 1993 on a rocky island in County Galway where Padraic (Pine), a hard-boiled terrorist is lured home by the news that his beloved cat, Wee Thomas, is doing poorly. When Padraic discovers the cat has been murdered, he initiates a cycle of revenge-killing that threatens everyone in his path.

The creative team includes Laura Fine Hawkes (sets), Stephanie Kerley Schwartz (costumes), Brian Gale (lighting), and Cricket S. Myers (sound).
