Synopsis of the Play: Set on a remote island off the West of Ireland in 1934. The Cripple of Inishmaan is a strange comic tale in the great tradition of Irish storytelling. As word arrives on Inishmaan that the Hollywood Director, Robert O’Flaherty is coming to the neighbouring Island of Inishmore to film Man of Aran, the one person who wants to be in the film more than anybody is young Cripple Billy, if only to break away from the bitter tedium of his daily life.

Setting: Set on Inishmaan (Aran Islands) 1934
