The Huffington Post reports that Daniel Radcliffe will once again appear on stage! This time he will be playing Billy, a disabled orphan in 1930s Ireland who harbors an unlikely dream of Hollywood stardom, in the play The Cripple of Inishmaan. The play opens in The West End starting in June for a 12-weeks and also stars Ben Whishaw, Judi Dench and Jude Law.

“He walks that line between tragedy and comedy so brilliantly,” Radcliffe said of McDonagh [the playwrite.] “I think one of the hilarious things about this play is, by our standards today, how politically incorrect it is,” said the actor, looking lean if a tad tired – he’s been at the gym, working out ahead of rehearsals for the play – in the troupe’s office atop a West End playhouse. “So much of the comedy is just people being relentlessly cruel to Billy. I’m trying to write something at the moment, and it’s just so dark, and I think it’s funny, but I’m not sure if anybody else ever would. I aspire to be a poor man’s Martin McDonagh.”

Of his future projects, Dan said: “Hopefully later on this year people will start to see some very different performances from me. And hopefully some really good movies. It’s about the movie as a whole, not just people studying my performance and seeing how I’m getting different and how I’m growing up.”

Coming up next for Daniel are some independent films including Kill Your Darlings, The F Word, Horns, and he will start filming an adaption of Frankenstein (as Igor) soon.

On The F Word: “I don’t want to say (I’m) playing myself, exactly, but (I’m) playing a character that’s fairly high-anxiety, slightly hyperactive guy.”

On Horns: “It’s a love story, it’s a revenge movie, it’s a horror movie in parts – it’s going to be crazy,”
