Mad Padraic (Poldark’s Aidan Turner) is a terrorist. A terrorist the IRA rejected for being too violent. While off on a bit of routine business, torturing a Belfast drug dealer, Mad Padraic gets a call that changes everything.
Mad Padraic rushes back home after receiving a call from his father that his beloved cat, and only friend, Wee Thomas is doing poorly. What Padraic doesn’t know is just how poorly Wee Thomas is. Wee Thomas’s brains have been squeezed out. When Mad Padraic finds out will it push him over the edge? Will justice be meted out? Will Padraic ever be able to open his heart again?

While it is sad to see many spectacular shows announce their final curtain call, the bright side is that it is always a good thing to see more shows opening than closing because it means an all-new season is on the horizon. With that being said, there is still time left to catch the following theatrical gems before they 'exit stage left' this month. See our list below for what’s closing in London theatre in September 2018.
