Theatre Banshee is thrilled to present a bold work from Irish dramatist Enda Walsh. A winner of a Fringe First at Edinburgh's prestigious Fringe Festival, The Walworth Farce is a wild theatrical ride. Part farce and part domestic drama, laced with lethal humor, touching relationships and theatrical originality, this show's a bold journey to some strange and satisfying territory.

Every day in a small dingy flat on London's Walworth road, an Irish father and his two sons act out a peculiar ritualized drama. But when a stranger happens into their performance, the drama they've been re-enacting for years takes a wild detour. The addition of the stranger might bring healing and closure to their lives of strange repeition - or their farce may stray into the realm of tragedy.
The Walworth farce features the outstanding cast of Tim Cummings, Brie Eley, Adam Haas Hunter, Cameron J. Oro and Kevin Stidham. The design team includes scenic design by Arthur MacBride, lighting by R. Christopher Stokes, costumes by Jessica Dalager, props/graphics by Andrew Leman and fight choreography (yes, there's fighting - and drinking - it's Irish after all) by Brian Danner. Tim Byron Owen directs the production with Assistant Director, Alice Ryan.
Don't miss this bizarre excursion into what it means to be Irish, and how we cope with the horrors of our past in order to try and survive the present.
