Set in 1943, on a remote island off Ireland's coast, Martin McDonagh's The Cripple of Inishmaan is the strange comic tale
following the fabled tradition of Irish storytelling. Based on actual events, the story begins when word arrives in the town
of Inishman that a famed Hollywood director is coming to a neighboring island to shoot a film. And the one person who wants
to be in the movie more than anybody is young "Cripple Billy"—if only to break away from the bitter tedium of his daily life.
In this bleak, yet wickedly funny play, McDonagh (author of The Beauty Queen of Leenane) shows us a world so comically
claustrophobic and mean-spirited that even the thought of hope is an alien concept.
