Padraic (Chris Pine), a hard-boiled terrorist, has been away in Northern Ireland with his busy schedule of torture and assorted nationalist mayhem, but he is lured home to Inishmore by the news that his beloved cat, Wee Thomas, is doing poorly.

Audience Feedback about The Lieutenant of Inishmore
The writing and the production were top notch...Overall, a bloody great show.
