By MARTIN McDONAGH, author of ‘THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE’

Director NOEL OÂ’Neill

SEASON - AUGUST 10, 11, 12, - 17, 18, 19

Set on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland in 1934, ‘THE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN’ is a strange comic tale in the great tradition of Irish storytelling…a Hollywood director is coming to the neighbouring island to make a new film & the one person who wants to be in the film more than anybody is the young cripple, Billy.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAIDÂ…

"Beneath the volley of barbs lies the same bedrock of witfulness & exasperation that makes ‘Beauty Queen’ so poignant"
The New York Times

"McDonaghÂ’s comic talent appears unlimitedÂ…a profound sense of tragedy dangerously lurking on comedyÂ’s untidy fringe"
The New York Post

"McDonagh is at root an Irish realist in the tradition of
Synge, OÂ’Casey, Friel & Billy RocheÂ…
a born story teller with a precocious sense of
dramatic structure."
The London Times.
