Enda Walsh

    1 janvier 1967

    Enda Walsh est un dramaturge irlandais dont les œuvres plongent souvent dans la réalité brute de l'expérience humaine avec un humour unique et souvent troublant. Son écriture se caractérise par une virtuosité linguistique impressionnante et une capacité à explorer des relations complexes et des thèmes existentiels. Les pièces de Walsh sont connues pour leur urgence et leur capacité à capturer l'essence de la vie contemporaine, souvent avec une approche provocatrice et non conventionnelle. Son influence sur le drame moderne est significative et ses pièces sont jouées dans le monde entier.

      Two chairs, a table, a high window. An old woman, an old man. Prompted by their alarm clocks they tell their story. They tell of a village in which people's tongues are cut out, making them 'the Silent'. They tell of a ten- year-old boy lying in the woods, battered to death, his tongue cut out.

      It's 11 o'clock in the morning in a council flat in south London. In two hours' time, as is normal, three Irishmen will have consumed six cans of Harp, fifteen crackers with spreadable cheese, ten pink biscuit wafers and one oven- cooked chicken in a strange blue sauce. Also in two hours' time, as is normal, five people will have been killed.

      The Walworth Farce
    • How do you outwit a Twit? Mr. and Mrs. Twit are the smelliest, ugliest people in the world. They hate everything -- except playing mean jokes on each other, catching innocent birds to put in their Bird Pies, and making their caged monkeys, the Muggle-Wumps, stand on their heads all day. But the Muggle-Wumps have had enough. They don't just want out, they want revenge.

      The Twits
    • A powerful play from one of Ireland's most innovative writers. Enda Walsh's extraordinary update of a section of The Odyssey sites four belligerent, self- made men in an empty, dilapidated swimming pool and watches them strut, posture and compete to outdo each other with every hilariously overweening speech.
