A heartbreakingly hilarious comedy by one of Ireland's most celebrated playwrights, The Cripple of Inishmaan is an irresistible tale filled with a host of charming characters and plot twists. In 1934 on a remote island off the Irish Coast, word comes that Hollywood director Robert Flaherty is arriving to film The Man of Aran. No one is more excited than Cripple Billy, an unloved boy whose chief occupation has been gazing at cows and yearning for a girl who wants no part of him. For Billy is determined to audition for the Yank. With The Cripple of Inishmaan, Tony Award winning Martin McDonagh’s concocts a masterpiece that is by turns eccentric, honest, and brilliantly funny.

"Martin McDonagh's latest masterwork." -The Guardian

"McDonagh is a born storyteller ... the dialogue fizzes, the characters crackle ... a tough, boisterous, gifted play" -London Times

“McDonagh’s … comic talent appears unlimited and he also has a way … of mixing up his humor with a touch of the poet …” –New York Post
