Wed. May 22 -- Guild Hall presents The Cripple of Inishmaan by Martin McDonagh
Directed by Stephen Hamilton. Produced by Guild Hall in association with Ellen J. Myers. Featuring Evan Daves, Margaret Dawson, Tom Gustin, Christopher Imbrosciano, Kristen Lowman, Tuck Milligan, Joe Pallister, Janet Sarno, and Georgia Warner. Written by Academy Award- and four-time Tony Award-winning Irish playwright Martin McDonagh in the great tradition of Irish storytelling, The Cripple of Inishmaan is a strange and whimsical comic tale set on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland in 1934. As word arrives on Inishmaan that the Hollywood director Robert Flaherty is coming to the neighboring island of Inishmore to film the documentary Man of Aran, the one person who wants to be in the film more than anybody is young Cripple Billy. An orphan who lives with his aunts, Billy yearns for stardom and a chance to escape small-town life. This Hollywood film may just be his chance.
