The Cripple of Inishman at Chicago Shakespeare Theater

A Hollywood documentary crew lands on the impoverished island of Inishmaan, where, amidst the gossip and gibes of his eccentric neighbors, the ambitious orphan Billy "Cripple" Claven vies for his shot at stardom. The New York Post calls the Olivier Award-winning Martin McDonagh (The Pillowman, The Beauty Queen of Leenane) a "playwright to reckon with...his comic talent appears unlimited." Join the world-renowned Druid Theatre in collaboration with Atlantic Theatre Company for this savagely funny and brutally honest tale—one that, in the great tradition of Irish storytelling, promises to stay with you long after you leave the theater.
