Cillian Murphy set to tread the boards in NYC with ‘Misterman’
Sell out Galway Arts Festival show en route to New York City
Cillian Murphy is set to tread the boards in New York City this year in the critically acclaimed hit play “Misterman”. The play written by Enda Walsh is set to transfer to New York’s St Ann’s Warehouse later this year as part of Imagine Ireland, Culture Ireland’s year of Irish arts in America.
The original production of the play premiered at the Black Box Theatre as part of the 2011 Galway Arts Festival.
“Misterman” features Cillian Murphy star of “Inception”, “Breakfast on Pluto” and “The Wind that Shakes the Barley” and is written and directed by Enda Walsh (“Penelope”, “The Walworth Farce” and “Hunger”). This is the first time in 15 years, since “Disco Pigs” that this Irish pair has worked together.

Summary:
Misterman is a dark and blisteringly funny tale of one man, Thomas Magill, played by Murphy, who is on a self-appointed mission to “do the Lord’s work” in the small community of Inishfree. The play brings us indelible portrayals of the evangelising Thomas and the various townsfolk he encounters throughout his personal crusade.
