Jan – June 2011. Major record breaking five-month USA and Irish tour.

In 2011 the widely acclaimed multi-award winning Druid and Atlantic Theater co-production of Martin McDonagh’s comic masterpiece will undertake a major tour of the USA as well as an exciting Irish tour which will include visits to Dublin, Galway, Roscommon and each of the three Aran Islands.

First staged by Druid in September 2008 and directed by Garry Hynes, The Cripple of Inishmaan toured Ireland and the UK, and went on to attract the highest attendance ever for a production at the Atlantic Theater in New York. It subsequently won a total of nine awards; six New York theatre awards, two UK awards and one Irish Times Irish Theatre award including Best Production, Outstanding Director and Outstanding Ensemble.

It’s 1934 and news on the island of Inishmaan is thin on the ground. Then word arrives that they’re making a Hollywood film on neighbouring Inishmore and Cripple Billy for once is paying attention.

The Cripple of Inishmaan is a comic masterpiece which sees eccentric island characters trade stories to within an inch of their lives while a young man tries to make sense of who he is.

Druid would like to acknowledge the continued support of the Arts Council in funding the company’s work and also the support of Culture Ireland in funding its international touring programme.
