Theater Emory opens its 2011-2012 "Bloody, Breathless, and Bold" season with Martin McDonagh’s Tony Award-nominated, The Lieutenant of Inishmore.
McDonagh is the winner of the most promising playwright award in 1996, an Oscar winner for his short film Six Shooter (2006), and author/director of the hit film In Bruges (2008). Described by critics as the bastard offspring of J.M. Synge and Quentin Tarantino, McDonagh is one of the most popular and controversial playwrights of the past fifteen years, claims the production’s director Donald McManus.
The cast includes professional actors Mark Cabus and Tim McDonough, as well as a host of Emory student actors. Set design is by Kat Conley and costume design is by Rosalind Staib. Sound design will be by Scott Little and lighting design will be by Robert J. Turner.
