By Martin McDonagh
Martin McDonagh's remarkable combination of offbeat comedy and tender drama takes us to Ireland's Aran islands in 1934 and shows us a tiny isolated community where peeping, prying and prurience are favorite pursuits. The play features an endearing gallery of singularly odd characters, including Cripple Billy, a young misfit momentarily wooed by Hollywood with hopes of impressing a local girl. You won't soon forget McDonagh's portrait of a small town reveling in gossip and trickery. London's Sunday Times hails it as "a wonderful play in the finest tradition of Irish writing."
