Radcliffe Talks INISHMAAN & Poses In Costume For Vogue

HARRY POTTER mega-star and Broadway stalwart Daniel Radcliffe discusses his new role in Martin McDonagh's THE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN in the West End as well as shows off some period-apropos duds befitting of his character in the prickly comedic drama in the June issue of Vogue magazine, available now.

Racliffe remarks upon McDonagh and sizes up THE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN and how it fits into the edgy and violent oeuvre of the Oscar-winning screenwriter, playwright and director in the interview portion of the new feature.

Radcliffe states, "Like all of Martin's work, the play - even though it deals with pretty dark themes - has an incredible sense of joy in the way that it's written."

So, how does Radcliffe intend to deal with performing eight shows a week as someone with a severe disability - that of a hunchback, no less, the "cripple" of the title?

With a lot of practice, apparently.

"I want it to be consistent, authentic, and, for me, safe, so that I can go on and have a productive life in the workforce," he relates.

THE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN, directed by Michael Grandage, begins previews in the West End on June 8 and runs through August 31.
