Lieutenant of Inishmore by Martin McDonagh

From the Publisher

On a lonely road on the island of Inishmore, someone killed an Irish Liberation Army enforcer's cat. He'll want to know who when he gets back from a stint of torture and chip-shop bombing in Northern Ireland. He loves his cat more than life itself, and someone is going to pay.

Sunday Times (London)

...cunningly constructed, deeply and intensely felt, bitterly blood curdling and breathtakingly funny.

Daily Telegraph (London)

McDonagh weaves the strands of his plot together with superb panache and his dialogue is a joy, full of debunking humor that reveals the terrorists in their absurdly dim true colors.

Financial Times (London)

You can't imagine how many dramatic developments, how much horror, how much comedy, McDonagh spins as a consequence of [a] cat's death...his blackest, funniest, most violent, most absurd...play to date.

Stage (London)

The plot is so sublime, the script so witty and the twist at the end so clever that I was won over...
