It's 11 o'clock in the morning in a council flat in south London. In two hours' time, as is normal, three Irishmen will have consumed six cans of Harp, fifteen crackers with spreadable cheese, ten pink biscuit wafers and one oven- cooked chicken in a strange blue sauce. Also in two hours' time, as is normal, five people will have been killed.
How do you outwit a Twit? Mr. and Mrs. Twit are the smelliest, ugliest people in the world. They hate everything -- except playing mean jokes on each other, catching innocent birds to put in their Bird Pies, and making their caged monkeys, the Muggle-Wumps, stand on their heads all day. But the Muggle-Wumps have had enough. They don't just want out, they want revenge.
A powerful play from one of Ireland's most innovative writers. Enda Walsh's extraordinary update of a section of The Odyssey sites four belligerent, self- made men in an empty, dilapidated swimming pool and watches them strut, posture and compete to outdo each other with every hilariously overweening speech.
