In today's world, where we witness almost every kind of violence, The Liuetenant of Inishmore asks what we know, how much we know and how much we think about it. It makes us question how little impact even the harshest events have on us over time, and how quickly their effects pass and become commonplace. How much can the ordinary lives of people who are not very smart, unreasonable or even stupid can change with the death of a cat, what events will trigger the death of a cat, how many lives can the death of a cat cost? The answers you will give before watching The Liuetenant of Inishmore will not match what you will see after watching the play. The author gives the answers to all these questions in a way that will strain your nerves.
