CURTAIN CALL: Around the world in Philly plays

POSTED: Wednesday, May 2, 2012, 3:00 PM

Man, it’s a great week for Ireland-philes. Just as Irish Heritage mounts its first production, Inis Nua is staging its second play of the season. After staging emotional monologue piece Little Gem, the company has turned to black comedy The Walworth Farce. Penned by Once scribe (and Tony nominee) Enda Walsh, the comedy follows a playwright and his sons living in exile in London. To say any more would be to give away the play’s bizarre delights.

May 8-27, $20-25, First Baptist Church, 1636 Sansom St, 215-454-9776, inisnuatheatre.org.
