Theatre: The Walworth Farce

Enda Walsh’s darkly comic domestic farce, about a father and his two adult sons living in a decrepit council flat on London’s Walworth Road, is produced by Kilmeen Drama Group. It’s a bizarre play, and reveals Walsh’s febrile imagination. The father, Dinny (Christy O’Sullivan), is a bully who, every day, makes his sons put on a play about why the Cork family — minus the mother — ended up in London. For Dinny, London is hostile and, apart from Seán (Denis O’Sullivan) going to the supermarket for groceries every day, the family is under ‘house arrest’.
