Written and Directed by Enda Walsh
'Staring back behind the blusher and the eye shadow a girl who's yet to be kissed. Properly kissed.'
In this new play by Enda Walsh, (creator of Edinburgh Fringe First winners Disco Pigs, Bedbound and Druid's The Walworth Farce), three sisters in a remote fishing village, trapped in the years that passed since their halycon days at The New Electric Ballroom, are still obsessed by darker memories of something resembling romance.
A coiled, dark, glitter-dusted fable of the emotionally stultifying efffects of small-town life.
Enda Walsh Season and Druid Debuts

Enda Walsh's One Act Plays
Lynndie's Gotta Gun - Tuesday 22 - Saturday 26 July 2008, €10
Directed by Sarah Lynch
Gentrification
Directed by Thomas Conway
Lynndie's Gotta Gun and Gentrification together give a concentrated look at the darker themes animating Walsh's work.
Lynndie's Gotta Gun is a disquieting, highly charged riff on the US female soldier, Lynndie England, notoriously pictured at Abu Ghraib humiliating Iraqi prisoners, while Gentrification examines the perils of parenthood and Coke can rings in Walsh's inimitable style.
