The show opened to excellent notices, The New York Times called it �The funniest show in town, and a guaranteed adrenaline booster. See it." The Wall Street Journal wrote "Play going doesn't get any better than this."

Blisteringly funny."

The Lieutenant of Inishmore: Set in 1993 in County Galway on the rocky island of Inishmore, off the coast of Ireland. Padraic is a terrorist with no feeling for those he kills, yet has an obsessive attachment to Thomas, his beloved cat. But someone has murdered poor wee Thomas. Was it an accident or an execution? Either way, the death must be concealed before 'Mad Padraic' returns from a stint of torture and bombing. Otherwise the recriminations will be horrifying.

The play, directed by Wilson Milam, also features Kerry Condon (Mairead), Andrew Connolly (Christy), Dashiell Eaves (Joey), Peter Gerety (Donny), Brian d�Arcy James (Brendan).
