The Lieutenant of Inishmore

Big Idea Theatre's production is full of violence, curse words and stupidity, with spot-on Irish accents and outstanding performances guaranteed to produce uncomfortable laughter. Directed by Brian Harrower and with Justin Muñoz as the eponymous lieutenant, the show never misses a beat as it drums out this truth: An eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind. Th, F, Sa 8pm. Through 8/31. $10-$16. Big Idea Theatre, 1616 Del Paso Blvd.; (916) 960-3036; www.bigideatheatre.com.
