While the lyrical I praises the splendor of nature with its beautiful flowers, the interplay of the trees with bees, the power of fire and the breathtaking change of the seasons, it simultaneously exposes the destructive power of humanity. Vices such as greed, envy, anger and hatred are not only dangerous for fellow human beings, but also for nature. We pollute the water, pollute the air, disregard the rain and torture animals and plants, but the lyrical I always sees a glimmer of hope. God gives hope, and nature gives us a new beginning every year and every morning. It shines even in the greatest darkness. In harmony with nature, however, the lyrical I also finds himself and meaning in his life.

The second collection of plays from the multi-award-winning Irish playwright, Enda Walsh.This volume of remarkable plays charts the development of one of the most strikingly original playwrights in contemporary theatre. It collects together four full-length plays three of which were produced by Galways Druid Theatre Company, three of which were performed at the Edinburgh Fringe, and two of which transferred to Londons National Theatre along with two fascinating short plays and a Foreword by the author.The Walworth Farce (2006) is a madcap yet tender play about what can happen when we become stuck in the stories we tell about our lives. The New Electric Ballroom (2008) is a dark, glitter-dusted fable of the emotionally stultifying effects of small-town life. In a savage and riveting take on the classic Greek myth of Odysseuss wife, Penelope(2010) sees four ridiculous men facing their inevitable deaths, and playing for an unwinnable love. Ballyturk (2014) saw Walsh reuniting with actor Cillian Murphy after Disco Pigs and Misterman for a jaw-droppingly physical play in which the lives of two men unravel over the course of ninety minutes. Also included in this volume are two short plays, My Friend Duplicity (2010), which went on to inspire Ballyturk, and Room 303 (2011).One of the most fiercely individual voices in the theatre todayNew York TimesEnda Walsh makes his own distinctive stage music in the fury of his writing talent and the irresistible surge of his blatant theatricalityIndependent
