	Inishmaan, Ireland. Travel guide & tourist information by Hostelbookers.com
		Inishmaan (Inis Meáin, "Middle Island") is the least visited of the three Aran Islands, and locals go about their lives seemingly oblivious to the trickle of tourists who come over.
		It rises in clear levels from the soft dunes of the north, through stages of flat naked rock, up to minuscule green pastures, then again up to a craggy band of limestone (along which sit the main villages of the island), eventually levelling out on higher ground to meet the crinkled, blowhole-pitted southerly edge.
		Inishmaan's most famous visitor was J.M. Synge, who stayed here for four summers from 1898, recording the life and language of the people.

	Stage, Screen, and Another Ireland
		Martin McDonagh, whose The Cripple of Inishmaan makes its New England premiere at the A.R.T. this May, is the author of the award-winning script co-produced by the Druid and Royal Court Theatres in Galway, London, Dublin, and New York, The Beauty Queen of Leenane.
		The Cripple of Inishmaan is the first play of a trilogy which the playwright expects to include two additional plays related to the Aran Islands, The Lieutenant of Inishmore and Inisheen, scripts awaiting production by London's Royal National Theatre.
		The near-absurdist repetitions in The Cripple of Inishmaan underscore the Syngean plot structure of an isolated group reacting to important news delivered in a manner befitting its significance.

	Metroactive Stage \| 'The Cripple of Inishmaan'
		Gossip-mongering is the chief form of entertainment in Inishmaan, a small island off the western coast of Ireland, but for Johnnypateenmike (Edward Sarafian), it's also a living.
		The Cripple of Inishmaan is ostensibly a comedy, so the characters are bound to be not quite as fleshed out as in a drama--we're meant more to laugh at their foibles than to explore why they have them.
		The Cripple of Inishmaan plays Tuesday at 7:30pm (except May 2), Wednesday-Saturday at 8pm (plus April 22 and 29 at 2pm) and Sunday at 2 or 7pm through May 7 at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts, 500 Castro St., Mountain View.

	The Cripple of Inishman, a CurtainUp review
		While hardly filled with the milk of human kindness the citizens of Inishmaan are nevertheless sympathetic, and their interactions so hilarious that you tend to forget the underlying desperation even in the title character's flight away from their petty feuds and thoughtless cruelty.
		The time frame is circa 1934 and the trigger event to jolt the Inishmaaners out of their relentlessly uneventful existence is the arrival of a Hollywood director who finds this remote coastal region interesting enough to make a film.
		The other Inishmaaners we meet are a daft mixture of pragmatism and superstition, their actions full of casual (but unintended) cruelties and, surprisingly for this playwright, kindnesses.

	STAGE 3 THEATRE - 2001 Season
		In "The Cripple of Inishmaan," which is making a heartwarming and heartbreaking debut at Stage 3 Theatre, those gifts are so well disguised that they seldom seem like anything a sane person would care to receive.
		A speck of stony outcrop, one of the three Aran Islands, Inishmaan is home for a small population of tough, surly inhabitants who, in this dark comedy, have developed bickering banter into an art form.
		His departure from Inishmaan serves as a catalyst for resentments among those left at home and, for a time, alters their carefully maintained equilibrium.

	Riders to the Sea - Preface (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The scene of "Riders to the Sea" is laid in a cottage on Inishmaan, the middle and most interesting island of the Aran group.
		While Synge was on Inishmaan, the story came to him of a man whose body had been washed up on the far away coast of Donegal, and who, by reason of certain peculiarities of dress, was suspected to be from the island.
		In due course, he was recognised as a native of Inishmaan, in exactly the manner described in the play, and perhaps one of the most poignantly vivid passages in Synge's book on "The Aran Islands" relates the incident of his burial.

	THE WILMA THEATER: From Irish sensation Martin McDonagh - THE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN premieres in Philadelphia
		Declared by the Daily Telegraph to be "...perhaps the most promising playwright to have emerged in Britain over the past ten years," McDonagh is the only playwright in history, apart from William Shakespeare, to have had four plays running concurrently in London as he did in 1997.
		Bred in Camberwell, in South London, McDonagh, who a mere five years ago was a clerk in the civil service, says that his work is inspired by voices he hears in his head, those of his Irish uncles talking during family vacations.
		He has appeared in THE TEMPEST at the Philadelphia Shakespeare Festival, in the American Shaw Festival, the Dublin Theatre Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and his version of Moliere's THE MISER was premiered in April 1998 at Community College of Philadelphia, where he is a part-time instructor.
