The unsung heroics from production of The Lieutenent of Inishmore | Daily Loaf.

This is a fun little article about the behind-the-scenes portion of a production of Martin McDonagh’s The Lieutenent of Inishmore, at the Jobsite Theater in Tampa Bay, Florida. It’s quite the bloody show. An earlier post talked about all the blood effects and other special effects that need to occur during the performance. This kind of show is either a prop director’s dream, or nightmare.
