The Cripple of Inishmaan

If the  outlandishly macabre antics of The Lieutenant of  Inishmore at the Mark Taper Forum tickled your fancy, here’s a kinder,  gentler work from Martin McDonagh—direct from Ireland!

It’s 1934 when word arrives on the island of Inishmaan that  Hollywood is making a film on neighboring Inishmore, and Cripple Billy Claven  wants in on the action. The Cripple of Inishmaan is bursting with McDonagh’s signature wry humor, salty  brogue and eccentric characters.

This international touring production, directed by Tony Award®  winner Garry Hynes (Beauty Queen of Leenane), and originally mounted by Druid theatre company of Galway,  Ireland, has already racked up awards in New York, the UK and Ireland.
