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.
This production revived the unique relationship between writer Martin McDonagh, Tony Award-winning director Garry Hynes and the widely-acclaimed Druid ensemble.
In 2009, the Druid and Atlantic Theater co-production of The Cripple of Inishmaan by Martin McDonagh was awarded a total of 9 prestigious theatre awards from the US, UK and Ireland.
