The Cripple Of Inishmaan

The A.C.T. Young Conservatory Performs
The Cripple of Inishmaan
by Martin McDonagh
Directed by W. D. Keith
Three teenagers living on a tiny island off the coast of Ireland in 1933 dream of escaping the dreary confines of their lives, but no one more so than 'Cripple' Billy, a disabled orphan and village outcast. When the local gossip spreads the news that a Hollywood film crew is shooting a movie on a neighboring island, the three teens set sail to try for a role in the film-but Billy embarks on an all-together different kind of journey, one that is nothing if not surprising. This dark comedy by Tony Award-winning Irish writer Martin McDonagh, writer and director of In Bruges, delivers witty banter, piercing dialogue, and a cast of local characters as genuinely likable as they are imperfect, brilliantly performed by A.C.T.'s Young Conservatory.
November 6 - 14 at the Zeum Theater
