A gut-wrenchingly funny; achingly sad play featuring jaw-dropping moments of physical comedy. The lives of two men unravel over the course of ninety minutes. Where are they? Who are they? What room is this; and what might be beyond the walls? Ballyturk premiered at Galway International Arts Festival in 2014. It subsequently toured Ireland before opening at the National Theatre; London. a richly theatrical experience combines manic physical comedy with a meditation on the brevity of our earthly existence imagine Under Milk Wood interpreted by Buster Keaton and you get the picture Guardian delirious and captivating this is thrilling theatre; visceral and cerebral; hilarious and sad Irish Examiner ferocious physical slapstick comedy is interspersed with heartbreakingly tender and delicately poetic explorations of the soul... it throbs with searing poignancy at times; is riotously funny at others a remarkable achievement Irish Independent

Working now at an architecture firm as one of the grunts; I was amazed to find that none of my co-workers had heard of this book. Of course; I am the oldest person in the firm where I work; and just became a grandfather. So I guess I am just "dated". However; the "kids" where I work have been glorious in their generosity in escorting me into the 21st Century; and I was pleased to introduce then to Mr. MaCaulay. Upon receipt of the book; I brought it into work and placed it in the break room; where it has been enjoyed by all. Lots of fun; which; of course; is the whole point.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
