Description: Who knocked Wee Thomas over on the lonely road in Inishmore, and was it an accident? 'Mad Padraic' will want to know when he gets back from a stint of torture and chip shop bombing in Northern Ireland: he loves that 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 April 2001.
