The Lieutenant of Inishmore
A brutal, hilarious masterpiece
Padraic is mad, everyone knows that. They don’t call him ‘Mad Padraic’ for nothing. And if, just maybe, you’d killed his beloved pet, the one thing you wouldn’t want is for him to turn up at your door.
So when Padraic returns home to Inishmore off the west coast of Ireland, the stage is set for a spectacular confrontation - an explosive dispute that could blow the small community apart.
Mixing cats, killers and casual violence, The Lieutenant of Inishmore is shocking, savage and sadistically funny, winning the Olivier Award for Best Comedy. From the acclaimed writer of In Bruges, The Pillowman and The Banshees of Inisherin, comes this breathless, blood-splattered tale of revenge.
“A terrific play about a serious subject that’s touched with a Monty Pythonesque insanity”
(The Guardian).
