Ballyturk by Enda Walsh

Kilmeen Drama Group present their multi-award winnign production of Ballyturk by Enda Walsh
Ballyturk is Kilmeen ’s entry in the All-Ireland Drama Circuit for 2026.

Described as gut-wrenchingly funny and achingly sad, and featuring jaw-dropping moments of physical comedy, Ballyturk is an ambitious, profound and tender work from one of Ireland’s leading playwrights.

Trapped in a small room, two people pass the time by vividly inventing and performing the lives of an imagined town, using storytelling as a means of survival. As the games grow darker, they are forced to confront mortality, authorship and the unspoken rule that one of them must remain.
