DRIVING THE POINT HOME<\/span>: It\u2019s entirely possible I just didn\u2019t get The Walworth Farce<\/span>, part of Studio Theater\u2019s Enda Walsh\/\u201dNew Ireland\u201d series. It\u2019s about a violent, delusional father who forces his two sons to reenact, day in and day out, his version of the events which led them to flee Cork for London. Supposedly a comedy? <\/p>\n It got about half a standing ovation tonight and although all four actors are really good, I have no idea why anyone would offer more than polite applause to what struck me as an unfunny, strenuously written and obvious (\u201cFor what are we if we\u2019re not our stories?\u201d and quite a bit more in this vein), and often boring \u201cedgy\u201d play. I almost left at the intermission, and while it did improve from there, I just\u2026 would like my mortal hours back, please. I\u2019m sorry. The actors really were good, and I suspect the direction is really good if you overlook the decision to stage this thing in the first place.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" DRIVING THE POINT HOME: It\u2019s entirely possible I just didn\u2019t get The Walworth Farce, part of Studio Theater\u2019s Enda Walsh\/\u201dNew Ireland\u201d series.
