From Olivier Award-winning playwright Martin McDonagh (The Pillowman) comes this dramatic and unabashedly bloody dark comedy about IRA terrorists. Chris Pine (who played a young Captain Kirk in 2009's Star Trek reboot) stars as Padraic, a terrorist too fanatic even for the IRA, who takes to blowing up fast food restaurants when his cat becomes ill. This production Lieutenant of Inishmore is staged by the original Broadway director who helped capture the Best Play Tony Award in 2006.

I LOVE it - it is a MUST SEE! If you liked In Burges - you'll love this! The cast and direction - phenomenal - set - sound - special effects - equally phenomenal. Chris Pine is a standout – hooray for a bonafide movie-star that comes from theatre!

Funny, shocking, and the most memorable evening you'll have in theatre for some time. And the BEST dark Irish comedy you'll ever see. Might not be everybody's cup of tea but if you like brilliantly written, cleverly staged and acted, and blood in your play-going...you'll love it!!!

Quotes & Highlights

  • “If  Monty Python has ever tackled the issue of Irish terrorism, they might have created something as wild, as brilliant and as weirdly exhilarating as The Lieutenant of Inishmore.”--NY Daily News
  • “The good  people of Inishmore cordially invite you to watch them paint the town red — a  vivid, sticky red that comes, as the phrase goes, straight from the heart."--Ben  Brantley, The New York Times

Description

Olivier  Award-winner Martin McDonagh (The Pillowman)  makes comedy from carnage in this highly theatrical — and unapologetically  bloody — romp.

Padraic (played by Chris Pine) is a handsome, dedicated terrorist deemed too mad for the IRA. He takes a break from torturing “valid targets” and blowing up fast food restaurants when he hears that his best friend in the world, a beloved cat, is doing poorly.

Critics raved and gasped over this 2006 Tony Award®  Best Play nominee. You can decide for yourself when the original Broadway director stages this daring and disturbingly intoxicating dark comedy.

Directed by Wilson Milam (Tony-nominated for directing the Broadway production of this play), the cast of The Lieutenant of Inishmore features (in alphabetical order) Ian Alda, Andrew Connolly, Coby Getzug, Seán G. Griffin, Kevin Kearns, Zoe Perry, Chris Pine and Brett Ryback.
