'There's more than one way to skin a theatrical cat; and McDonagh's
chosen weapons are laughter and gore...Pushing theatre to its
limits, McDonagh is making a serious point...a work as subversive
as those Synge and O'Casey plays that sparked Dublin riots in the
last century' Guardian 'A brave satire...Swiftianly savage and
parodic...with explicit brutal actino and lines which sing with
grace and wit' Observer Who knocked Mad Padraic's cat over on a
lonely road on the island of Inishmore 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: he loves his cat more than
life itself. The Lieutenant of Inishmore is a brilliant satire on
terrorism, a powerful corrective to the beautification of violence
in contemporary culture, and a hilarious farce. It premiered at the
RSC's The Other Place, Stratford-upon-Avon, in May 2001. Commentary
and notes by Patrick Lonergan
