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. As word arrives on Inishmaan that the Hollywood director Robert Flaherty is coming to the neighboring island of Inishmore to film MAN OF ARAN, the one person who wants to be in the film more than anybody is young Cripple Billy, if only to break away from the bitter tedium of his daily life. Filled with the dark, wry wit and human tragedy signature of playwright Martin McDonagh (The Pillowman, The Lieutenant of Inishmore), THE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN both questions and gives tribute to the tradition of Irish storytelling.

The Cripple of Inishman contains mature themes and language that may not be appropriate for younger audiences.
