Irish Violence and Comedy in Kansas City
There’s more on the Irish play currently showing at the Unicorn, in the KC Community News.
We’re talking award-winning Martin McDonagh’s The Lieutenant of Inishmore again.
I must confess that it didn’t occur to me that there may be people who would have ethical problems with the comic use of violence:
Of course, it is the dizzying carnage that will generate most of the post-theater coffee talk. The crack production staff at the Unicorn employs buckets of stage blood as McDonagh dares us to laugh at things we shouldn’t – and we do.
Those who have ethical problems with the comic use of violence might want to skip this exercise in absurdity. Others will find it an incorrigible guilty pleasure
The Lieutenant of Inishmore is at the Unicorn Theatre until November 11, 2007, and you can read the details of the shows HERE on my earlier post
