Set on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland in 1934, "The Cripple of Inishmaan" is a comic tale in the great tradition of Irish storytelling. In 1934, the people of Inishmaan learn that the Hollywood director Robert Flaherty is coming to the neighboring island to film his documentary Man of Aran. No one is more excited than Billy, an unloved and crippled boy whose chief occupation has been gazing at cows and yearning for a girl who wants no part of him. Billy is determined to cross the sea and audition for the Yank. As news of his audacity ripples through his rumor-starved community, "The Cripple of Inishmaan" becomes a portrayal of a world so comically cramped that hope is an affront to its order.

The stellar cast includes Cody Schuyler (Billy), Mark Collins (Johnny Pateen), Brandon Palmer (Bartley), Meredith Young (Helen), Sasha Fisher (Eileen), Linda Suttle (Kate), Sam Gilstrap (Bobby Babby), Loren Cogswell (Dr. McSharry) and Carla Kaiser Kotrc (Mammy).


With this uproariously funny dark comedy, Martin McDonagh fulfilled the promise of his award-winning "The Beauty Queen of Leenane" while confirming his place in a tradition that extends from Synge to O'Casey and Brendan Behan. "The Cripple of Inishmaan," starring Daniel Radcliffe, completed a successful Broadway run in 2014 and received 6 Tony nominations including Best Revival of a Play.
