"Halfway house between horror and hilarity".
"Halfway house between horror and hilarity".

Domhnall Gleeson says that sharing a stage with his father Brendan and brother Brian in The Walworth Farce is a "halfway house between horror and hilarity".

The acting family star in Enda Walsh's comedy play, which opens tonight in Dublin's Olympia Theatre and runs until February 8.

Speaking to The Herald newspaper, Domhnall, who also appears in the new Star Wars movie, said: "The rehearsal process has been like a halfway house between horror and hilarity."

"It's been strange and fun wearing a dress. Rehearsing has been brutal because it's been so technical, but I mean that in a good way."

Domhnall is set to return to Canada to resume filming of the film adaptation of Colm Toibin's book, Brooklyn, when The Walworth Farces closes.
