Meanwhile, Druid’s production of Enda Walsh’s play The New Electric Ballroom is running at the Peacock Theatre as part of the Ulster Bank Dublin Theatre Festival. It will then transfer to New York and Los Angeles.

Both plays have won the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe First Award and have earned Enda Walsh the reputation as one of Ireland’s greatest living playwrights.
