The Small Things

OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

    Enda Walsh 

  • Synopsis

    Two houses, perched on top of mountains, stare at each other across a deep valley. A man and a woman talk about the small things – parquet floor zigzagging down corridors, the memory of mother’s breasts, brown sauce and soggy chips. But these minutiae disguise a bigger story of brutality and unfaltering loyalty which emerges horrifically through the chit-chat.
