Dark role: Aidan plays Padraic, a young, unhinged terrorist who returns home and goes on a murderous rampage when he discovers his cat has been killed
The piece, set in 1993 on the island of Inishmore, County Galway, was first performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company in 2001 and was created by Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri director Martin McDonagh.
Aidan plays Padraic, a young, unhinged terrorist who returns home and goes on a murderous rampage when he discovers his cat, who he refers to as his 'best friend in the whole world', has been killed.
In true Martin McDonagh style, everything descends into chaos as Padraic storms back into his father Donny's (Denis Conway) home, and tries to exact his revenge but is then interrupted when fellow terrorists turn up on his doorstep.

‘I think people will be surprised,’ the actor told the Daily Mail last year, while on a short break from filming the fourth — and penultimate — series of the top-rated BBC television Sunday night drama Poldark.
‘It’s the furthest I can get from Ross Poldark that I can possibly imagine.’
The first — and last — time Turner appeared on the London stage was as a British soldier in the Abbey Theatre’s production of The Plough And The Stars at the Barbican, back in 2005.
Aidan can also currently still be seen on the small screen in the fourth series of Poldark, which is airing on BBC One.
