The Lieutenant of Inishmore

Set in a land steeped in violence, The Lieutenant of Inishmore follows the story of Padraic, an Irish terrorist, who returns home to find his beloved cat, Wee Thomas, is dead.  Unstable at the best of times, Padraic will stop at nothing to avenge the death of his childhood companion.  An Olivier award winning black comedy from Irish playwright Martin McDonagh, The Lieutenant of Inishmore takes a wickedly satirical look at violence and how it is glamorized in the modern age. A Queensland premiere, The Lieutenant of Inishmore is not for the faint hearted. Presented by AS Theatre Independent Productions. By special arrangement with Dominie Pty. Ltd.
