“I come from the Irish tradition and the Irish play
tradition is not sociological drama. In Britain there are wonderful writers who
write about politics, about where we're at. Whereas as an Irish playwright — I
guess our background is poetry. So we see theatre in terms of dream and in
terms of form. [The plays] are based in the real world but the real world is
not as we know it and see it….The inner workings of a person permeate whatever
play I'm writing.” —Irish playwright Enda Walsh quoted in Sarah Hemming, “Love
and Biscuits,” The Financial Times, July 31-Aug. 1, 2021
