I love the challenge of making a piece of theatre from very little. I have always believed that the best drama comes from truthful acting and that the less there is of distraction and clutter to get in the way of that the better. In Eden we have two very good actors, three doors, two stools, a cushion, a penknife, some glasses and a few bottles. Go figure, go conjure! We’ve done the sketch of the play now, the scaffolding. And this week we are filling in the detail. I always say I never know what to do with the beginning until I get to the end. I’m with Eliot on that- the end is in the beginning. Thus far a rewarding journey.....
“Eden is the highlight of the Summer Season for the Theatre Royal. There is a great buzz around town about Eden", so many people who loved the play when they first saw it ten years ago are looking forward to the seeing it again, especially with our great Waterford actors, Jenni Ledwell and Michael Power starring in it this time. It is also the ten year anniversary of the show and a reunion for the author, Eugene O'Brien – who will be in Waterford to see it, and Eden's director Ben Barnes.
