STOP PRESS FRINGE FIRST WINNER 2007 "Walsh's most ambitious work to date is a manic little masterpiece of the hidden subcultures that exist behind closed doors very close to home." (The Herald) Click here to read the full review. "Enda Walsh's extended day-glo nightmare of The Walworth Farce, about as brilliant and savage a final comment on the inner life of a defeated nation as Irish theatre in all its magnificence could have hoped to produce."

It’s 11 o’clock in the morning in a council flat on the Walworth Road in London. In two hours time, as is normal, three Irish men will have consumed six cans of harp, 15 crackers with spreadable cheese, 10 pink biscuit wafers and one oven cooked chicken with a strange blue sauce. In two hours time, as is normal, five people will have been killed. Directed by Mikel Murfi (Trad, Fringe First 2005), Enda Walsh’s remarkable play, visceral and tender, combines hilarious moments with shocking realism. Following the critically acclaimed DruidSynge, 2005 Edinburgh International Festival (Herald Angel, 2005), Druid comes to the Traverse with a stunning play by one of Ireland’s finest young playwrights, Enda Walsh (Disco Pigs; Bedbound). Druid gratefully acknowledges the support of the Arts Council of Ireland and Culture Ireland.

(Sunday Times) Walsh has outdone himself with a new play more complex, dark and emotionally rich than any of his previous efforts... A theatrical experience that claws at the imagination for days afterwards. What’s exciting is how this production develops walsh’s work... An unsettling but exhilarating blend of the hilarious with the horrifying. |
