Enda Walsh Plays: One

Enda Walsh was born in Dublin in 1967, and counts among Ireland's most successful and most widely performed contemporary playwrights. His plays have contributed considerably to the ongoing interest in new Irish theatrical writing around the world. Walsh shot to fame as a playwright when he won both the George Devine Award and the Stewart Parker Award in 1997 for his play Disco Pigs. In 2007 and 2008 Enda won Fringe First Awards at two consecutive Edinburgh Festivals for his plays The Walworth Farce and The New Electric Ballroom. In an article referring to the former play, the Guardian proclaimed Walsh "one of the most dazzling wordsmiths of contemporary theatre."
