Enda Walsh
Notably during the recession in the 1980s, when profits were low, Walsh says that he was earning more money managing his own newspaper round enterprise than his father was bringing home from the shop.[1] Life in the large family was full of incident and Enda has claimed[1] that many of his plays find their origin in his relationships with his father, his mother and her friends, his three brothers and two sisters.After studying Communications at Rathmines College and acting for the Dublin Youth Theatre,[2] Walsh travelled in Europe working as a film editor.Feeling himself to be 'too comfortable'[4] in Dublin, in 2005 Walsh and his wife, Jo Ellison, who is currently editor of the Financial Times's How to Spend It, moved to London.Many of Walsh's plays including Disco Pigs,[5] Bedbound, Small Things, Chatroom, New Electric Ballroom,[6] The Walworth Farce, Penelope and Misterman, have been translated into more than 20 languages and have had productions throughout Europe and in Australia, New Zealand and the US.He wrote a musical play with David Bowie entitled Lazarus,[13] which premiered at the New York Theatre Workshop (Off-Broadway) from mid-November 2015 to mid-January 2016.He is currently under commission for three films, an adaptation of the children's story Island of the Aunts by Eva Ibbotson (for Cuba Pictures), a film entitled Jules in the City based on the life and music of Rufus Wainwright and an adaptation of Gitta Sereny's book Into That Darkness, about the life of Franz Stangl, the commandant of the Sobibor and Treblinka extermination camps.
