Our 21 week Irish & US tour got off to a great start at Roscommon Arts Centre on January 27th where it played three sold-out nights with waiting lists every night.

This week, on Feburary 2nd, the 17 week US tour kicked off in Boston at Arts Emerson and despite snow storms hitting the east coast of America, cast and crew landed safely and played to packed houses receiving four standing ovations on the first night. And as if things couldn’t get any better, The Boston Globe gave the show a rave review,

“Under the supple direction of Garry Hynes, the Druid’s artistic director, the ensemble delivers bravura performances across the board… The Cripple of Inishmaan is wonderful”.
