The Atlantic Theater Company and the Druid Theatre Company will reteam to present Martin McDonagh’s play The Cripple of Inishmaan, to run December 9- February 1. The production, which will be directed by Tony Award winner Garry Hynes, will open officially on December 22.

The cast, which performed in the UK production of the play, features Kerry Condon, Andrew Connolly, Laurence Kinlan, Dearbhla Molloy, Aaron Monaghan, Marie Mullen, Patricia O’Connell, David Pearse, and John C.
