Enda Walsh Libri

An extraordinary, original and irresistibly joyous celebration of love, friendship and music. Winner of 8 Tony Awards in 2012, including Best New Musical.

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.

In Enda Walsh's MISTERMAN we enter the head of Thomas Magill, an unstable man whose mission is to bring God to his fellow townsfolk.

The second collection of plays from the multi-award-winning Irish playwright. Includes a Foreword by the author.

A gut-wrenchingly funny, achingly sad play featuring jaw-dropping moments of physical comedy.

Two early plays from the acclaimed Irish writer Enda Walsh. schovat popis

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.

Se ci guardiamo intorno, possiamo renderci conto che non sono infrequenti le persone brutte, cattive o sporche; ma ci sono anche persone insieme cattive, sporche e brutte, come gli Sporcelli di questo libro di Dahl. Sembrerebbe poco interessante occuparsi di loro, e invece no. Gli Sporcelli hanno un’indole malvagia e fanno scherzi orribili: come quando la signora Sporcelli mise il suo occhio di vetro nel boccale di birra del marito, per fargli sapere che lo teneva sempre sotto controllo! Fortunatamente, gli Sporcelli non sono inesauribili nelle loro trovate, e alla fine, sia pure in modo del tutto involontario, rimangono vittime della loro stessa cattiveria. Di loro non rimarranno che due fagotti di stracci e quattro vecchie e sporche ciabatte.

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 old women, trapped in a remote Irish town of gossip and fish, obsessively relive the time when, as 17-year-olds, they were nearly seduced at the New Electric Ballroom by Roller Doyle, the singer in a touring band.
