The Cripple of Inishmaan (Atlantic, 336 W. 20, extended through March 1). Galway’s Druid Theatre Company brings its letter-perfect revival of Martin McDonagh’s 1997 comedy to New York. What would you be waiting for? This soot-black portrayal of Irish village life at its most claustrophobic is immaculately cast and exquisitely staged by Garry Hynes. Yes, it’s a comedy, and a touching one–but be careful where you touch it or you’re liable to come away with burnt fingers. Anyone who’s allergic to stage-Irish clichés will revel in the wildly funny savagery with which McDonagh skewers them through and through (TT).
