April is the cruelest - and most hilarious - month at Berkeley Repertory Theatre, when Les Waters lets loose with another shocking script from Martin McDonagh. In 2007, the Obie Award-winning director scored a direct hit with his extended run of The Pillowman; since then, the Academy Award-winning author released his first feature film, In Bruges. Now Berkeley Rep reenlists these seasoned artists for another vicious comedy: The Lieutenant of Inishmore. Staged in the state-of-the-art Roda Theatre, this edgy farce begins previews on April 17, opens April 22, and closes May 17. BART and Wells Fargo serve as season sponsors for Berkeley Rep's 41st year of fearless theatre, and the executive producers for this show are Marjorie Randolph, Betty and Jack Schafer, and Philip and Shirley Schild.

Oscar winning and Tony nominated playwright Martin McDonagh has not abandoned the stage as feared as he has focused on more film work recently, The New York Times has revealed that he has finished a new play and is eager to see it staged. The new work, titled A Behanding in Spokane, is set in 'small town America', a change from McDonagh's usual locale of Ireland. The Times describes the story as 'a man in his mid- to late -40's who is missing his left hand and needless to say, wants it back'. The Times reports that the play includes 'blood, gore, a bomb and the dark humor' McDonagh has become famous for, there is no exact information at present regarding when or where the production will debut. McDonagh was nominated this past week for best original screenplay for 'In Bruges' his comedy-thriller starring Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell. He also directed the film.
