The Lieutenant of Inishmore

Please turn off your political-correctness monitor for this gleeful, gory and appallingly entertaining new play. Someone has run over IRA operative ‘Mad Padraic’s’ cat on a lonely road on the remote Aran Island of Inishmore. 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 that cat more than life itself. Martin McDonagh’s hilariously bloody, high-octane black farce is a denunciation of terrorism in its many forms and one of the funniest plays in years. A Pittsburgh Premiere directed by PICT associate director Stuart Carden.
