The play combines razor sharp, funny dialogue with scenes of graphic violence.
Wee Thomas was a friendly cat. Who knocked him over on a lonely road on the picturesque island of Inishmore, and was it an accident? His owner, handsome and mad Padraic, will want to know when he gets back from a stint of torture and chip-shop bombing - he loves his cat more than life itself.

Following the critically acclaimed success of The Pillowman at Curve earlier in 2009, Paul Kerryson directs another brilliantly satirical comedy by multi award-winning writer, Martin McDonagh. McDonagh's other award-winning successes include the film In Bruges and the Academy Award-winning short film Six Shooter.

This play contains violent scenes and language that may offend.
