Penelope
A new play by Enda Walsh
“I have given myself to a possibility of love with you! But you have turned me into this, you have reduced me, Penelope… to a fat man in SPEEDOS.”
It’s 11.30am and already it’s 33 degrees Celsius. At the bottom of a drained swimming pool, four ridiculous men face their inevitable deaths, and play for an unwinnable love.
Druid’s previous partnerships with Enda Walsh (Edinburgh Fringe First Winners, The Walworth Farce, The New Electric Ballroom) have led to sell out runs in six countries worldwide wowing critics and audiences alike. Don’t miss this dynamic duo third time round.
Karl Shiels received a Best Actor nomination in the Irish Times Irish Theatre Awards for his role as Quinn.
