First formed in 1935, Titirangi Theatre has long played an integral role in the life of Titirangi Village.

Due to the intimate size of the theatre, sell-out performances are not uncommon, so early bookings are advised!

The Cripple of Inishmaan

On stage 4 June to 13 June

On the small island of Inishmaan off the coast of Ireland, there’s not much to do. Cripple, Billy Claven, raised by his aunties, endures a lonely life, teased by the locals - including the fiery Slippy Helen and her brother Bartley. Life takes an unexpected turn in 1934 when Hollywood filmmaker arrives on neighbouring Inishmore to shoot a documentary about life on the Aran Islands. Desperate to escape the gossip, poverty, and boredom of Inishmaan, Billy seizes the opportunity to audition for the film. To everyone’s surprise, the orphaned outcast gets his chance... or so some believe.
