For over a hundred years, many a young person has found escape at the movies. A remote island off the west coast of Ireland seems to be the most unlikely setting for any kind of escape, but Billy Claven might actually get to live his dream to be in the movies. But in playwright Martin McDonagh’s world, dreams come to life in strange and dangerous ways. The characters that we meet on Inishmaan are hurt, proud, vengeful people, who happen to have such a scathingly witty way with words that you will laugh.

Set principally on a sparsely populated island off the west coast of Ireland, The Cripple of Inishmaan portrays the impact that the presence of an American film crew (for the Robert Flaherty movie Man of Aran) has on the excitement-starved inhabitants of Inishmaan. McDonagh again captures the depth of feeling that the Irish people have for family, home and their roots. Cripple is driven by the inconsistencies of human behavior, which echo this equally sad and funny play’s whiplash reversals of mood and fortune.
