WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Atlantic Theater Company co-produces Academy Award winner and four time Tony Award-nominated playwright Martin McDonagh's The Cripple of Inishmaan with Druid, Galway. Tony Award-winning Garry Hynes directs.
Set in 1934 on an island off the west coast of Ireland, Hollywood filmmaker Robert Flaherty arrives on the neighboring island of Inishmore to film his movie The Man of Aran and excitement ripples through the sleepy community of Inishmaan. For orphaned Billy Craven, who has been relentlessly scorned by the island's inhabitants, the film represents an escape from the poverty of his existence. He vies for a part in the film, and to everyone's surprise, it is the cripple who gets his chance.

Hurry, hurry, hurry to the Atlantic Theater, where Martin McDonagh's work of tragicomic genius, The Cripple of Inishmaan, is easily the funniest play now in New York. Actually, side-splitting, rib-tickling, knee-slapping is more like it -- not to mention heartbreaking and soul-crushing. And yes, while this script is the same one that was seen on the Public Theatre's stage in 1998, this far superior production is definitely what McDonagh intended.
The heroes behind the work's miraculous resurrection are Garry Hynes -- the first woman ever awarded a Tony for Best Director (for her work on McDonagh's The Beauty Queen of Leenane) -- and a cast imported intact from Hynes' Galway-based Druid com[...]
