An uproarious black comedy set in Inishmaan, 1934 directed by Julie Sharkey. The Ballaghaderreen Players present Martin McDonagh’s brilliant comic masterpiece The Cripple of Inishmaan. It’s 1934 and news on the island of Inishmaan is thin on the ground. Then word arrives that they’re making a Hollywood film on neighbouring Inishmore. The one person who wants to be in the film more than anybody is Cripple Billy if only to break away from the bitter tedium of his daily life. McDonagh weaves a dark comedic tale shadowed by the tragedy and complexities of rural Irish living.
