WexFour

In 2014, John Banville, Eoin Colfer, Billy Roche and Colm Tóibín each contributed a one-act play as part of the events celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Wexford Arts Centre in South-East Ireland. All four are among Ireland's most acclaimed writers and all are from Wexford. WexFour presents the dramas as they were originally performed, each one a perfect unit within a Wexford-themed ensemble edited by Ben Barnes, former director of Ireland's Abbey Theatre.

Barnes describes the collection as, “short works illuminated by skilful writing’ where ‘all traverse the familiar territory of loneliness and loss; of spirited humour in the face of diversity; of a battered but still resilient hope for, and belief in, a better future.”
