The Walworth Farce

'An unsettling but exhilarating blend of the hilarious with the horrifying'

'Walsh has outdone himself with a new play more complex, dark and emotionally rich than any of his previous efforts... a theatrical experience that claws at the imagination for days afterwards'

'If there is a bleaker, funnier or more desperate play in Edinburgh this year, I'll eat my hat'

'Brilliant and savage... a mind-blowing combination of Marx Brothers madness and exploded Irish cliché'

'Enda Walsh makes his own distinctive stage music in the fury of his writing talent and the irresistible surge of his blatant theatricality'

'Fast and furious... Enda Walsh's queasy thriller is masterpiece of virtuoso tale-telling'

'Genius... a first-rate farce concealed in a tragedy of Shakespearian proportions... an astoundingly clever piece of writing... as hilarious as it is heartbreaking'

'A fascinating mixture of trauma, fantasy and jet black comedy... testosterone-fuelled, no holds barred mayhem... a macabre delight'

'A twisted classic... disturbing and violent... The play's black humour twists and yawns into darker depths... an affecting allegory for the damage that families do'

'A special piece of theatre... challenging and uncomfortable, but also a pure delight'
