About:

Who knocked Mad Padraic's cat, Wee Thomas, over and was it an accident? He'll want to know when he gets back from a stint of torture and chip-shop bombing in Northern Ireland because he loves his cat more than life itself....

Winner of the 2003 Olivier Award for best new comedy in the UK and the Obie for best play last year, The Lieutenant of Inishmore is a darkly sinister and funny exploration of the hypocrisy of violence. McDonagh, author of The Beauty Queen of Leenane and The Pillowman, displays his wit and breathtaking imagery as an Irish National Liberation Army enforcer, Mad Padraic, determines with single-minded focus who killed his favorite cat. The resulting mayhem, while not for the faint of heart, leads with inevitable precision to a surprising and hilarious climax.
