The second collection of plays from the multi-award-winning Irish
playwright, Enda Walsh. This volume of remarkable plays charts the
development of one of the most strikingly original playwrights in
contemporary theatre. It collects together four full-length plays -
three of which were produced by Galway's Druid Theatre Company,
three of which were performed at the Edinburgh Fringe, and two of
which transferred to London's National Theatre - along with two
fascinating short plays and a Foreword by the author. The Walworth
Farce (2006) is a madcap yet tender play about what can happen when
we become stuck in the stories we tell about our lives. The New
Electric Ballroom (2008) is a dark, glitter-dusted fable of the
emotionally stultifying effects of small-town life. In a savage and
riveting take on the classic Greek myth of Odysseus's wife,
Penelope (2010) sees four ridiculous men facing their inevitable
deaths, and playing for an unwinnable love. Ballyturk (2014) saw
Walsh reuniting with actor Cillian Murphy after Disco Pigs and
Misterman for a jaw-droppingly physical play in which the lives of
two men unravel over the course of ninety minutes. Also included in
this volume are two short plays, My Friend Duplicity (2010), which
went on to inspire Ballyturk, and Room 303 (2011). 'One of the most
fiercely individual voices in the theatre today' New York Times
'Enda Walsh makes his own distinctive stage music in the fury of
his writing talent and the irresistible surge of his blatant
theatricality' Independent
