BROWSE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN PHOTOS

RETURN HERE TO CAPTION (FOR ALL PHOTOS IN SERIES)

The Cripple of Inishmaan, a play set on the Island of Inishmaan off the coast of Ireland in 1934, by London’s playwright Martin McDonagh, directed by Jeff McGrath, opens June 25 and runs through July 18 in the Studio Theater of the Hartnell College Performing Arts Center.  The London Times says, “McDonagh . . . is at root an Irish realist in the tradition of Synge, O’Casey, Friel and Billy Roche.  He is also a born storyteller with a precocious sense of dramatic structure.”

Troy Osteraa (blue cap) plays Cripple Billy Claven, enamored of the sharp-tongued and sassy Helen McCormick (played by Erin Thompson) who likes to pick on him and her poor brother Bartley (Colin Jennings, with egg on his head).  Cripple Billy wants, more than anything and in spite of the scoffs of his fellow villagers, to be in Robert Flaherty’s film “Man of Aran”, shooting at an island nearby, distracting Billy and the others from the bitter tedium of their lives.
