The Cripple of Inishmaan
By Martin McDonagh
Directed by J.R Sullivan
And...ACTION! Word arrives on the Irish isle of Inishmaan that a famed Hollywood director is coming to a neighboring island to shoot a film. Cripple Billy, a bored and lonely orphan being raised by his eccentric aunties, would give anything to escape his tedious life by snagging a role in the movie. When Billy lands a screen test, the oddball citizens of Inishmaan mount a heartbreakingly hilarious front of resistance, bursting with dark madcap humor and touching devotion. Tony Award-winning McDonagh has created a masterpiece that is by turns quirky, sincere, and scathingly funny.
