BWW Reviews: Irish Players of Rochester Present THE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN
by Mary Hanrahan - Mar 30, 2010
Ireland mustn't be such a bad place, so - but it certainly isn't devoid of faults or wickedness. This is made entirely clear in The Cripple of Inishmaan, Martin McDonagh's darkly comic and touching work about a physically challenged young man's dreams of becoming a Hollywood star. The spritely production currently being mounted by the Irish Players of Rochester, a subset of Rochester Community Players, gives its audience just the right balance of sentimentality and harsh absurdity. Under Jean Gordon Ryon's direction, McDonagh's comical drama about the nature of lies, gossip, and identity makes for a night of quality entertainment.
