The Walworth Farce at the Walker Art Center
October 21 - October 25, 2009
The Guthrie WorldStage Series
and the Walker Art Center present
a Druid Ireland production of
The Walworth Farce
by Enda Walsh
directed by Mikel Murfi
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. This remarkable play by Enda Walsh combines hilarious moments with shocking realism as it delivers an achingly tender insight into what happens when we become stuck in the stories we tell ourselves about our lives.
