The Lieutenant of Inishmore


by Martin McDonagh - Atlantic Theater

A very dark and macabre comedy about a society in the late stage of terrorist struggle - where there are only patriotic songs and slogans left and nobody to remember what they used to mean, where senseless violence has become such a way of life that human life is worth significantly less than that of a cat. Not that a cat's life shouldn't be worthy, but people are animals too... Free Ireland - but free of what? If to judge by the actions of all those self appointed champions of the glorious patriotic cause - free of its own people presumably!
