The major new production, which follows the hugely successful run of McDonagh's The Cripple of Inishmaan, is directed by Andrew Flynn and runs at Dublin's Gaiety Theatre from January 27 for a limited run only (check out tickets here).   View this post on Instagram   Extended dates added to Martin McDonagh’s The Lieutenant of Inishmore due to demand.
