THE Quarry Players presents the blacker than black satire ‘The Lieutenant of Inishmore’ at LIT Millennium Theatre from November 25 to 29.
From the writer and director of ‘In Bruges’ and ‘The Beauty Queen of Leenane’, Martin McDonogh, ‘The Lieutenant of Inishmore’ is a gleefully gruesome play about political terrorism in rural Ireland.
The play won the Olivier Award for best comedy and took the West End and New York by storm last year. The title character Padraic, is the self-anointed officer of a one-man splinter group of an offshoot of an offshoot of the IRA, whose only tender emotion is for his pet cat, ‘Wee Thomas’. But as the play opens, the poor kitty has died, and the job of everyone else in the village is first to try to keep the news from Padraic, and then to cope with his murderous reaction when he discovers the truth about the demise of his only pet.
‘The Lieutenant of Inishmore’ is directed by Michael Kearney and designed by John Ryan with sound design by Loren Hartnett. The play runs at LIT Millennium Theatre from November 25 to 29. Tickets cost €18. For further information and bookings contact 061-322322 or log onto www.litmt.ie.
