Penelope
Traverse
Seen Saturday 7th of August 2010
If you have had the chance of seeing The Walworth Farce, you know how Enda Walsh can do weird weird yet entertaining and, IMHO, unsettling plays. In this production, the weirdness is partially diluted by the familiarity of the story (Penelope waiting for the return of Ulysses) but the settings of the play(the bottom of a decrepit empty swimming pool) and the focus on the four remaining would-be lovers of Penelope still allow Enda Walsh to deliver a strange and strong hour and half play. As often the telling and re-telling of stories, the re-enactement of events and the "staging" of oneself play a vital part in this relatively more straight-forward play.
