The Questors present The Cripple of Inishmaan
by Martin McDonagh
29 Jan - 06 Feb 16 | In the Judi Dench Playhouse
Hilariously black comedy
In 1934 the people of Inishmaan learn that a Hollywood director is coming to the neighbouring island to make a documentary film. No one is more excited than Billy, a crippled orphan whose chief occupation has been staring at cows and yearning for a girl who wants nothing to do with him.
Billy is determined to cross the sea to the nearby island and audition for the film. But news of his audacity causes a mainly negative response in this rumour-starved community.
The Cripple of Inishmaan is a comic tale with a rich cast of comic characters. But it also contains darkness in its portrayal of a world so cramped by boredom, religion and isolation, that hope is an affront to its order.
Suitable for ages 11+
Contains informal oaths
