@wellar6 its called black comedy! that's why its bloody and all of that! we read it in class! i love reading it and doing the irish accent and being able ot say "ah feck it!" .... such a good play though! :D
@ilovefluffysheep i know its called black comody. i'm also studying it. hsc and all. but it still shocked me. lol yeah our class all attempted to do a read through of the play in an irish accent too. some of it was a fail. its a good play, i wish they were preforming it in sydney, would love to go see it...they did one at Belvoire st theatre yrs ago
@ilovefluffysheep mmm...i know i have to work on my accent for the preformance...i've downloaded this thing onto my ipod with an irish accent...itll confuse ppl when it comes on...
It is sung by Kerry Condon, who played Mairead at the RSC and Off-Broadway before being replaced on Broadway by Alison Pill (Condon had to return to her regular job on HBO's "Rome" and the scheduling clashed. The musicians on the track are 4 members of The Pogues - Andrew Ranken, Jem Finer, Philip Chevron and Darryl Hunt, augmented by Stephen Warbeck. Ranken and Chevron also sing later in the recording, which was produced by Ranken especially at Martin McDonagh's request.
The track was used at the curtain calls every night at The Other Place, RSC Stratford-Upon-Avon, RSC Barbican Pit, The Garrick Theatre (West End), UK tour, Atlantic Theatre (Off-Broadway)and Lyceum Theatre (Broadway).
As the Blood Effect designer for Lieutenant of Inishmore at the Atlantic, Lyceum, Southern Rep, Gable Stage and soon coming to the Alley as well as Syracuse stage, I must say, 21 years in this business designing effects. This play is by far this best script I've had the great fortune to design for. Many Thanks to Martin to remind me to keep writing as well.
I managed to see this by fluke when I found out that my great aunt's daughter's husband was in this (he's the one at 0:42). After seeing The Producers, and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, this was by far the best play I have ever seen, and if you have the chance to go don't miss it.
I'm a cat lover and I haven't had a cat for almost a year (I still miss ya, Goldie! *choke*), but if I do get a male black cat, I'm gonna name him Wee Thomas after the one in the play. Oh, and by the way, the lead in the play (forgot the character's name) is a self-indulgent hypocrite who deserved what he got for shooting the other cat. Bastard!
His name is Padrai, and I absoultely adore his character. I was so lucky to get to see this on Broadway with almost the entire cast pictured here (our Padraic was different, but he was absolutely fantastic). This is by far the best production I've ever seen on or off Broadway. Yay for Martin McDonagh!!
this was a promotional video, so i think they didn't want to spoil anything about the story or the good stuff for the audience. That's why there isn't even a mention of a cat, or any of the gory blood.
Love Domhnall :)
