Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) is volgend jaar weer op West End te zien in The Cripple of Inishmaan, van 8 juni tot en met 31 augustus in het Noel Coward Theatre. Heb hem een paar jaar geleden zien spelen in Equus en was bijzonder onder de indruk, dus denk dat ik dit stuk ook wel ga bekijken.

“Set on the remote island of Inishmaan off the west coast of Ireland, word arrives that a Hollywood film is being made on the neighboring island of Inishmore. The one person who wants to be in the film more than anybody is young Cripple Billy, if only to break away from the bitter tedium of his daily life. Martin McDonagh’s comic masterpiece examines an ordinary coming of age in extraordinary circumstances and confirms his position as one of the most original Irish voices to emerge in the second half of the twentieth century.

Daniel Radcliffe plays the title role in the first major London revival since its premiere at the National Theatre in 1996.

Directed by Michael Grandage with set and costume design by Christopher Oram.”
