Beschreibungen/Notizen

• [Martin McDonagh]'s past work, such as last year's "The Pillowman," has been unrelievedly lacerating and bleak. In "Inishmore" he's turned to comedy, though comedy of the darkest sort: he giddily sends up political violence with buckets of fake blood. Set in rural Ireland in the 1990s, his play centers on "Mad" Padraic (David Wilmot), a rebel too crazy and sadistic for the IRA.
