NEW YORK (AP) - The bloody mayhem that envelops Martin McDonagh's "The Lieutenant of Inishmore" explodes as effectively on Broadway as it did off-Broadway.
In fact, McDonagh's dark, dangerous satire on Irish terrorism plays even sharper, surer and funnier in the larger confines of Broadway's Lyceum Theatre, where the comedy reopened Wednesday after a successful run at the small Atlantic Theater Company.
McDonagh, London-born but with roots in Ireland, is a natural storyteller with an idiosyncratic way with a phrase. He's got that great Irish gift of gab, conversations that a strong cast, under the astute direction of Wilson Milam, deliver with remarkable finesse.
