Playwright Enda Walsh, author of THE NEW ELECTRIC BALLROOM and THE WALWORTH FARCE, feels that, as contradictory as it may seem, words have a habit of getting in the way. Walsh says that, although in theatre words are obviously of the utmost importance, ideas can be communicated through the actors feelings and actions. Walsh believes that 'theater can be much more than just people talking.'
Enda Walsh, playwright of the critically acclaimed The Walworth Farce, premiered his new play, The New Electric Ballroom at St. Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn last night to a full house. The play premiered at the 2008 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, winning the 2008 Edinburgh Fringe First Award. The production is brought to St. Ann's by the Irish theatre company Druid Ireland and is directed by Edna Walsh. It runs at St. Ann's Warehouse through November 22nd.
