Maryland Ensemble Theatre (MET) will present Martin McDonagh's award winning play 'The Lieutenant of Inishmore'. The dark Irish comedy will be directed by MET's founding Artistic Director, Tad Janes. 'The Lieutenant of Inishmore' is a play that grabs you with comedy and takes you on a ride like no other play I know', said Janes. 'I've always been a fan of McDonagh's plays. They are always funny, quirky, and have interesting themes and characters. When we selected plays for the season this one was a clear favorite within the Ensemble' 'The Lieutenant of Inishmore' will run every Thursday through Sunday (except Easter Sunday) at Maryland Ensemble Theatre from April 10 through May 4.
Elmwood Playhouse's production of THE PILLOWMAN by Martin McDonagh opened this past weekend. The production continues its run at The Elmwood Playhouse for 3 more weekends (March 21st - April 5th). The play explores the nature, freedom and responsibility of artists and asks: 'To what extent an artist is responsible for the actions of others in response to their work?' BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
With echoes of Stoppard, Kafka, and the Brothers Grimm, The Pillowman by Martin McDonagh centers on a writer in an unnamed totalitarian state who is being interrogated about the gruesome content of his short stories and their similarities to a series of child murders. The result is an urgent work of theatrical bravura and an unflinching examination of the very nature and purpose of art.

This year, one of the many ways Chicagoans can observe St. Patrick's Day beyond dropping in to an Irish pub might be a visit to Raven Theatre in Edgewater to see the theatre's acclaimed production of The Playboy of the Western World. J. M. Synge's pioneering classic of modern Irish drama is a non-alcoholic trip to the Emerald Isle, though the play is, incidentally, set in an Irish country pub (they call it a shebeen). Click below to watch highlights from the production, as well as interviews with the cast and creative team!
