    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.

      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.

      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.
