About the Play
Set in 1934 on Ireland’s remote island of Inishmaan, Martin McDonagh’s The Cripple of Inishmaan follows Billy Claven, a disabled orphan longing to escape the cruelty and monotony of village life. When a Hollywood crew arrives on a neighboring island to film Man of Aran, Billy lies about having tuberculosis to join the journey, hoping for fame—or at least freedom. What unfolds is a darkly comic tale of deception, longing, and belonging, as Billy returns home with both a bruised body and battered heart, uncovering buried truths and chasing a sliver of hope in a world that rarely shows kindness.
