''The Cripple of Inishmaan'' is a dark comedy by Martin McDonagh who links the story to the real life filming of the documentary ''Man of Aran''. Set on the small Aran Islands community of Inishmaan off the Western Coast of Ireland in 1934, the inhabitants are excited to learn of a Hollywood film crew's arrival in neighbouring Inishmore to make a documentary about life on the islands. "Cripple" Billy Claven, eager to escape the gossip, poverty and boredom of Inishmaan, vies for a part in the film, and to everyone's surprise, the orphan and outcast gets his chance.... or so some believe.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Cripple Of Inishmaan: A CurtainUp Review )〕 == The play == ''The Cripple of Inishmaan'' opened on 12 December 1996 at Royal National Theatre (Cottesloe) in London.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=National Theatre: Past Productions: 1996-2000 )〕 In 1998, it opened at Joseph Papp Public Theater in New York City, again with Ruaidhri Conroy in the title role.
