This hilarious dark comedy and multi-award-winning production from Ireland's illustrious Druid Theatre Company is filled with a host of charming characters and unexpected plot twists. The Cripple of Inishmaan marks Druid's Spoleto debut with one of the company's most lauded productions. It's 1934 on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland and word arrives that a Hollywood director is shooting a film on location. As ripples of excitement spread through the community, no one is more determined to audition than "Cripple" Billy who along the way tries to make sense of who he is. Flawlessly staged and brilliantly acted, by turns eccentric and dazzlingly funny, Martin McDonagh's masterpiece is directed by Druid's Tony Award--winning artistic director Garry Hynes with a stellar cast that brings "every line to startlingly vivid life."
