The Cripple of Inishmaan (Daniel Radcliffe)

Martin McDonagh’s pitch-black Irish comedy-drama 'The Cripple of Inishmaan' arrived at the Cort Theatre in 2014 in a spectacular, critically adored Broadway transfer from London's West End, capturing multiple Tony nominations. Set in a remote, bleak island community in the Aran Islands in 1934, the narrative tracks Billy Claven, a disabled, marginalized orphan youth who orchestrates a desperate campaign to escape his dreary provincial life when a Hollywood film crew arrives on a neighboring island to shoot a documentary. Directed with relentless kinetic energy by Michael Grandage, the production was anchored by Daniel Radcliffe in a tour-de-force performance as Billy.
