Multi award-winning writer Enda Walsh and the acclaimed Druid ensemble present the London opening of The New Electric Ballroom at Riverside Studios for a limited run following the show's enormous success at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Transferring direct from its Australian premiere at the Perth International Arts Festival, this London debut is part of an extensive world tour.
Funny, tender-hearted and at times pitch dark, The New Electric Ballroom is a coiled, dark, glitter-dusted fable of the emotionally stultifying effects of small-town life. Three sisters living in a remote fishing village are trapped in the years that have passed since their halcyon days at the New Electric Ballroom and are still obsessed by darker memories of something resembling romance. In The New Electric Ballroom, possibilities are endless, hopes are high and opening your heart might be the one thing that saves you.Enda Walsh is internationally celebrated for his exhilarating wordplay and the sheer visceral power his stories release in performance. This latest work is one of the most explosive and compelling yet from one of the leading playwrights of our time. The Herald Archangel Award was bestowed on Enda at the 2008 Edinburgh Fringe Festival for his contribution to the arts in Edinburgh.Riverside Studios
