Synopsis:
Set on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland in
1934, this play is a strange comic tale in the great
tradition of Irish storytelling. As word arrives
on Inishmaan that the Hollywood director Robert Flaherty
is coming to the neighboring 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. Playwright McDonagh has created characters for
whom the fine line between cruelty and kindness is
slender.
