An all-Irish cast will join Aidan Turner in Michael Grandage’s summer production of Martin McDonagh’s The Lieutenant of Inishmore, which will open at the West End's Noël Coward Theatre July 4 following previews that begin June 23.
Turner (The Plough and The Stars, The Clinic) will star as Mad Padraic, a terrorist deemed too violent to be a member of the IRA. He will be joined by Denis Conway as Donny, Will Irvine as Christy, Brian Martin as James, Daryl McCormack as Brendan, Julian Moore-Cook as Joey, Charlie Murphy as Mairead, and Chris Walley Davey.
The play, which premiered at the Royal Shakespeare Company in 2001, will continue through September 8.
