Enda Walsh is een Ierse toneelschrijver wiens werken zich vaak verdiepen in de rauwe realiteit van de menselijke ervaring met een unieke, vaak verontrustende humor. Zijn schrijven wordt gekenmerkt door een indrukwekkende linguïstische virtuositeit en een vermogen om complexe relaties en existentiële thema's te verkennen. Walsh's toneelstukken staan bekend om hun urgentie en hun vermogen om de essentie van het hedendaagse leven te vatten, vaak met een provocerende en onconventionele aanpak. Zijn invloed op het moderne drama is aanzienlijk en zijn stukken worden wereldwijd opgevoerd.

In two hours' time, as is normal, three Irishmen will have consumed six cans of Harp, fifteen crackers with spreadable cheese, ten pink biscuit wafers and one oven- cooked chicken in a strange blue sauce. Also in two hours' time, as is normal, five people will have been killed.
Two chairs, a table, a high window. An old woman, an old man. Prompted by their alarm clocks they tell their story. They tell of a village in which people's tongues are cut out, making them 'the Silent'. They tell of a ten- year-old boy lying in the woods, battered to death, his tongue cut out.
