Cast announced for 'The Lieutenant Of Inishmore at Gaiety Theatre

Following on from the hugely successful production of Martin McDonagh’s The Cripple of Inishmaan earlier this year, the Gaiety Theatre is delighted to present a major new production of McDonagh’s The Lieutenant of Inishmore for early next year. Directed by Andrew Flynn this exciting new production of The Lieutenant of Inishmore will run at the Gaiety Theatre from 27 January 2020 for a very limited run. Tickets are on sale now from the Gaiety Theatre and Ticketmaster.  
 
Oscar Award-winning director and playwright Martin McDonagh’s work is known and loved by both theatre and film audiences alike (In Bruges, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri). Audiences flocked to see The Gaiety Theatre production of The Cripple of Inishmaan last spring.
 
Details of the sterling ensemble cast for The Lieutenant of Inishmore were announced earlier this week, which features exciting young stars of TV, film and theatre in Ireland and abroad today. Already making their mark on stages and TV screens across Ireland the cast includes Paul Mescal (BBC’s Normal People, The Great Gatsby), Aisling Kearns (Darklands, Asking For It), Alex Murphy (The Young Offenders), Cillian Ó Gairbhí (Blood, Darklands), Desmond Eastwood (Blackout, Normal People), Cillian Lenaghan (Blackout) and in his professional debut Pádraig O’Grady. They are joined by Don Wycherley in the role of Donny (Sing Street, Ballykissangel, Bachelor’s Walk).  
 
About The Lieutenant of Inishmore: On a lonely road on the island of Inishmore, someone killed Mad Padraic’s cat. He'll want to know who did it 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. Set in the 1990s, The Lieutenant of Inishmore is a clever satire on terrorism, the beautification of violence in contemporary culture and a hilarious farce in true McDonagh fashion.
