“The Cripple of Inishmaan” • a dark comedy by Martin McDonagh
A theater outing for Bethany members and friends will take place Sunday, October 19, after church. We’ll be seeing the Martin McDonagh play “The Cripple of Inishmaan” at Sacramento City College’s Art Court Theatre. Tickets are $12 if you reserve through Cathy Sapunor. Please be prepared to pay with cash.
Our own Tim Sapunor appears in the play. Meet in the lobby by 1:30. The show starts at 2 p.m. Enter the theater off 12th Avenue between Freeport Blvd. and Hughes Stadium.
Some carpooling from Bethany is available. Contact Cathy Sapunor if you are interested.
The play, set in 1934, contains dark humor and strong language … and is worth watching for its memorable characters. A major theme is storytelling, especially truthfulness; whose version is correct? And is it harmful—or is it a blessing—to keep difficult information from others? Come and find out.
“It is clear that even if Martin McDonagh is having mercilessly mean fun with the Irish character and with the deliciously poetic idiosyncrasies of Irish language, he also has a sweeping compassion for the Irish soul.”
