Martin McDonagh’s The Lieutenant of Inishmore will receive a rare revival in the West End running at the Noel Coward Theatre from 23 June to 8 September 2018. It follows the 2013 award-winning production of McDonagh’s The Cripple of Inishmaan.
The play which premiered at the RSC in 2001 stars Aidan Turner as Mad Padraic, a terrorist deemed too violent to be part of the IRA. The play is a brilliant satire on terrorism, an acute observation of violence in contemporary culture and a hilarious farce.
