Some big news is sending the residents of Inishmaan into a frenzy - no, it's not about the sheep with no ears! BIG NEWS!Crippled Billy Claven sees an opportunity to escape his small town existence. An opportunity for acceptance and a better life."Be careful what ye wish for...so.....dreams don't always lead where we expect."Join us for Billy's adventure, wherever it leads.
