Day 5 was supposed to be funny!
Well, it had bits of amusement from the play The Walworth Farce by Enda Walsh... but really, this play is as if 39 Steps had a demon baby with Lieutenant of Inishmore.
So, the play takes place in a London flat with two brothers and their father recreating a farce of their own - playing all the characters in a monumental real day of murder that changed their lives and set them on this path.
The brothers play all the rotating parts with Dad Dinny playing his own. Into this mix comes the very real and unsuspecting cashier from the local market... and the play within the play changes dramatically.
This play ends up being very dark, as anyone knowing my above reference to Martin McDonagh would be able to guess and definitely took me by surprise.
Final Verdict: Though I would love to be in this play, whew does it say some crazy things about humanity and what people will do to protect themselves from the truth.
Next up: A Key Exchange by Kevin Wade
As always, if you would like to make a suggestion of a play to read, leave it in the comments! If you would like to join me in reading, I'd love the company. #PlayADay4May
