I have to say it was probably the best piece of theatre I have ever seen. While the language was rough in places the dialogues were sharp and witty. Quiet black in places but he has an amazing talent for writing!! Everyone should see it!! I would go again if it was on!! Well done to all the cast too. The Irish Rule!!

I loved The Cripple of Inishmaan. It was very funny and sad at the same time. Martin McDonagh has a gift of dealing with sensitive subjects. When you can have a whole auditorium laughing at clerical abuse, it says a lot.
The cast were truly outstanding, Tadhg Murphy, who played Cripple Billy was fantastic in this role.
I cannot recommend this play highly enough, I have told all my family, friends and colleagues to go see it if they get the chance, not to be missed.

even though, the play was downright cruel at times, very sad at times, you found yourself laughing all the way through. very well written, acted and delivered...good insight into Irish culture...

A very good production although I had difficulties with the actors playing the parts of the Doctor and Slippy Helen. I felt Slippy Helen was too modern and the Doctor was weak.

Fabulous show - superb script, ensemble acting and brilliant individual performances. Only flaw for me was the set - I felt the shop counter was too big for the small country shop it purported to be. This may however have been because of the Gaiety stage - which is a huge space to fill. This is the only reason 'The Cripple of Inishmaan' lost a star from me. Highly recommended

Excellent fun, the play starts off with great pace and dosent disappoint at any point. Very strong performances from cast. However, 'Cripple Billy' , dispite great physical acting, had poor voice, less than average presence. The 'doctor' suffered also from poor voice.
Nevertheless, strong dialogue, great pace made for a wonderfull and sidesplitting evening!

We loved the show. MacDonagh is certainly dark, and at times we laughed out loud at how audacious he is. But it was very true to life on a small island where nothing much happened and even the smalles piece of news was seized upon by the inhabitants. Really entertaining and wonderfully acted and we were never quite sure as to what was going to happen next.

The play was really enjoyable - it was an well judged mix of many parts - funny and cruel, bright and dark.

A very interesting and authentic performance from Druid. This thought-provoking play is hysterically funny and unbearably sad at the same time. Leaving the theatre, you feel that there is more to come from this talanted writer.

Very funny I thought Billy was alittle too neutral, where was the West of Ireland diallect ?
Good story line but thought it it could be coarser in tone tp portray the language and accents of the time in saying this I really enjoyed the play.

Didn't quite know what to expect but this play just did not engage me. The excellent cast didn't have a script to match their capabillities. Forced humour is a real turn-off.

The play appeared to be very well produced and very funny. Unfortunately we were in the middle of the upper circle any the sound quality was so poor you could not catch most of tjhe punch lines in fact by half time we did not even bother to try and follow the sound was so poor. All the people sitting near us had the same problem

It must have been 1979 that a friend first dragged me to Galway to see Druid. I was blown away at the time. So much dramatic energy.
Where has it all gone? Too many bills to be paid? Who knows but it has gone! So sad! Too bad!
A slipshod production where good performances by Carney (BabbyBobby), Craigie (Kate), Dunne (Helen), Molloy (Eileen), Murphy (Billy Claven) were unable to overcome the dead weight of the rest of the cast and generally low production qualities. I've seen adult and teenage amateur productions of McDonagh's play that I rate more highly.
The music, set and lighting may all be achieving such high art that such art rises above my mere clay footed sensitivities but I'm more inclined to shrioek in frustration.
The emperor is bare assed. Stay home. Find less irritating ways to spend your money.
Last two plays seen: 'Earnest' (Gaiety) and 'Field' (Olympia) both rated as well worth seeing.
