The Cripple of Inishmaan
by Martin McDonagh
'Ireland mustn’t be such a bad place, so, if the Yanks want to come here to do their filming’
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. Winner of critical acclaim in 3 countries, this brilliant comic masterpiece comes complete with suspense and a great deal of heart.
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.
‘Cripple is a handsome production, with sets like art installations and costumes to match, both by Francis O’Connor. Hynes orchestrates the fine-tuned performances’- San Francisco Chronicle
‘Hynes and company have fashioned a richly entertaining rendition of a consummately crafted modern classic.’- The Backstage Review
‘The Cripple of Inishmaan may very well be McDonagh’s finest play…one of those rare and enchanted productions that will live in the memory of all who see it for years to come.’- Chicago SunTimes
The Druid and Atlantic Theater co-production of The Cripple of Inishmaan by Martin McDonagh won 9 major international awards from the US, UK and Ireland in 2009.
