It's 11 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, fifteen crackers with spreadable cheese, ten 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.
Hilarious, horrifying and ferociously entertaining, The Walworth Farce is an achingly tender insight into what happens when we become stuck in the stories we tell ourselves about our lives.
From Galway to Edinburgh, from London to New York, the Druid Theatre Company's production of The Walworth Farce has wowed audiences everywhere. The Sydney season will be the final stop in an extensive world tour of this remarkable and compelling play by acclaimed Irish playwright Enda Walsh.
