The Cripple of Inishmaan Theatre breaks

In 1934 Robert Flaherty made a documentary about the Aran Islands which are three remote isles off the east coast of Éire. Each is home to a small subsistence population. A few years later, in 1978, George Stoney made a documentary titled ‘How the Myth Was Made’, which revealed how Flaherty had manipulated facts, events and, most interestingly, people in order to make his ethno-fiction. The Cripple of Inishmaan is set during the filming of Flaherty’s documentary and follows “Cripple” Billy (played by Daniel Radcliffe) who dreams of Hollywood glamour.

A Cripple of Inishmaan theatre breaks are a must-have experience where you’ll see Daniel Radcliffe display the breadth of his acting talent as he takes to the stage to portray Billy, the ragged underdog. As many reviews have commented, the rest of the cast give excellent performances, uniting as a solid group, yet each offering distinguishing performances. A Cripple of Inishmaan theatre break brings you a coming of age story that unfolds before your eyes. The play is deep, dark, funny, heart-warming, thought-provoking and much more.

“Daniel Radcliffe moves on from Harry Potter with the finest piece of stage acting this year” - The Sunday Telegraph

“It's a knowing play but one which Radcliffe invests with a sense of real feeling” - Michael Billington, The Guardian

“It is a perfect ensemble piece: within the revolving stone worlds of Christopher Oram's design each character has its own rhythm and eloquence, absurdity and dignity” - Libby Purves

• The real life documentary, “Man of Aran”, was filmed in 1934 and was made by film makers from mainland Britain rather than Hollywood, as is the case in the play.
• This documentary followed a family that was cast from around the islands and was not actually a real family at all.
• Despite the falsehoods, “Man of Aran” used pioneering camerawork, editing and cinematography.
