CILLIAN Murphy and Stephen Rea are to return to the London stage this September in Enda Walsh’s Ballyturk.
A co-production between Galway Arts Festival and Landmark Productions, Walsh will also direct the play, which also stars his long-time collaborator Mikel Murfi.
Ballyturk will receive its world premiere at the Galway Arts Festival on July 14 before transferring to the National Theatre in London from September 11– October 11.
The play is a comedy which reunites the creative team behind the Dublin playwright’s internationally-acclaimed play Misterman, in which Murphy took centre stage in a solo performance.
Speaking from Manchester, where he is currently filming BBC drama series Peaky Blinders, Murphy said: “I’m thrilled to be working with Enda on his amazing new play Ballyturk and to work with Mikel Murfi and Stephen Rea and the Misterman creative team."
