Lieutenant of Inishmore de Martin Mcdonagh

Lieutenant of Inishmore: Student Editions

Autor Martin Mcdonagh Editat de Patrick Lonergan, Jenny Stevens, Chris Megson, Matthew Nichols, Sara Freeman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 mai 2009
Martin McDonagh's hilariously gruesome play about political terrorism in rural Ireland depicts an absurd world in which killing, bombing, and torturing are just jobs, and sentimentality is reserved for animals. Padraic, a maverick lieutenant refused entry to the IRA for being "too mad," rushes back to Inishmore upon hearing the news that "his only friend in the world," wee Thomas the Cat, is "poorly." Finding that his cat has had his brains blown out, he goes in search of justice for his murdered friend. This Methuen Student Edition features both the play and an extensive commentary and study aids ideal for both students and teachers.

Caracteristici

'McDonagh, in his best play to date, offers a . . . politically and dramatically coherent exposition of the way violence is glamorised and extremism infects people like a deadly virus.' Guardian

Notă biografică

Martin McDonagh's first play The Beauty Queen of Leenane was nominated for six Tony awards, of which it won four, and the Laurence Olivier Award. In 2006, Martin McDonagh won an Oscar for his short film Six Shooter, and in 2008 his film In Bruges was a critical and popular hit.

Recenzii

"Gleeful, gruesome play about political terrorism in rural Ireland, which won the Olivier Award for best comedy...Appallingly entertaining...Enlightening..."Lieutenant" is brazenly and unapologetically a farce. But it is also a severely moral play, translating into dizzy absurdism the self-perpetuating spirals of political violence that now occur throughout the world."--"The New York Times""" "A cautionary fairy tale for our toxic times. In its horror and hilarity, it works as an act of both revenge and repair, turning the tables on grief and goonery, and forcing the audience to think about the unthinkable."--"The New Yorker"""
"There's more than one way to skin a theatrical cat; and McDonagh's chosen weapons are laughter and gore Pushing theatre to its limits, McDonagh is making a serious point a work as subversive as those Synge and O'Casey plays that sparked Dublin riots in the last century."--"Guardian"
"A brave satire Swiftianly savage and parodic with explicit brutal actino and lines which sing with grace and wit."--"Observer"
