Description

The first eight astonishing plays by Enda Walsh, one of the most dazzling wordsmiths of contemporary theatre” (The Guardian).

Bursting onto the theatre scene in 1996 with Disco Pigs, Enda Walsh has delivered a sustained fusillade of strikingly original plays ever since. This volume, with a Foreword by the author, contains:

The Ginger Ale Boy (1995), Walsh’s very first, previously unpublished play, a Cork cabaret about a ventriloquist who loses control.

Disco Pigs (1996), his breakthrough play, winner of the 1997 George Devine and Stewart Parker Awards, a play that “does for Irish kids what Irvine Welsh’s Trainspotting did for young Scots” (Daily Telegraph).
