Bedbound

OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

    Enda Walsh 

  • Synopsis

    A Father and a Daughter share a small bed. He talks frantically about his extraordinary past in furniture sales; she talks no less compulsively about anything at all, to fill the terrible silence in her head. Everything is frantic and broken and ugly because they can't stop talking. If only they could stop and sleep.
