Celebrated playwright Enda Walsh selects his cultural touchstones

From the Three Stooges and The Smiths, to opera that literally made him sick, Enda Walsh tells Des O'Driscoll about some of his cultural touchstones.

Enda Walsh was born in Dublin in 1967, and moved to Cork in the early 1990s, where he had his first major success with the Corcadorca production of his play Disco Pigs, starring Cillian Murphy and Eileen Walsh.

He has since written numerous plays, screenplays, and operas, and collaborated with David Bowie on the play Lazarus. Walsh lives in London with his wife Jo Ellison and their daughter Eva.
