       "The Cripple of Inishmaan"
       [quote]Daniel Radcliffe read Martin McDonagh’s much-lauded play
       The Cripple Of Inishmaan and knew he had to do it.
       Set in 1934, it is about a young man with a withered hand and
       foot who lives off the west coast of Ireland, and is known by
       the locals as ‘Cripple Billy’.
       ‘It’s got pathos, heartbreak — and it’s very funny,’ said
       Daniel.
       On the neighbouring Isle of Arran, an American film-maker is
       shooting a documentary and Billy feels this is his chance to
       escape.
       ‘A young boy desperate to be in
       film . . . I can relate to that,’ Daniel
       laughed, speaking to me from the set of A Young Doctor’s
       Handbook, a Sky TV drama he’s shooting with Jon Hamm. The
       physical challenge of the play appealed to Radcliffe, too, after
       a year spent singing and dancing on Broadway in How To Succeed
       In Business Without Even Trying.
       ‘I’ve been desperate to find something to come back to London
       with,’ he said, adding that he and Michael Grandage engaged in a
       series of discussions while they were working in New York.
       Grandage was impressed (as were we all) that in the middle of
       his Harry Potter career, Daniel tackled Peter Shaffer’s complex
       play Equus.
       ‘He has a real hunger not to take the easy option,’ says
       Grandage. ‘He’s keen to push himself in a different direction
       with everything he does.’ [/quote]
