by Martin McDonagh, translated by Bogdan Budeș
The action takes place in Ireland during the 1990s, and the play follows the story of Padraic, a ruthless terrorist from the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA), who returns to his hometown to resolve a family situation that requires immediate intervention. As a result of this triggering event, both he and the other individuals involved are drawn into a vicious cycle of revenge that turns small events, otherwise devoid of drama, into an absurd movement of extreme justice.
"The Lieutenant of Inishmore" is a clever and provocative play that explores complex themes with humor and insight. It manages, through a seemingly straightforward narrative, to touch upon and highlight deep layers of human nature.
"The Lieutenant of Inishmore," considered one of the most successful works written by Irish playwright Martin McDonagh, premiered in 2001 at the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford upon Avon, and in 2003, it won the Olivier Award for "Best New Comedy."
