A compilation/remix of 16 of Samuel Beckett‘s plays, prose and poems.
A brush with Beckett, his characters and their words.
In this intimate 80 minute 2-hander performance, Living Room Theatre‘s approach to both the comic and the tragic sides of Beckett’s work will give audiences a new way to experience his language. Whether you’re exploring this Nobel Prize winner’s writing for the first time, or building on a body of Beckett knowledge, this theatrical showcase is an encounter not to be missed.
Expect a mystery phone call, impossible-to-remove boots, the horrors of home life, a glass of Jamesons, surreal radio broadcasts, a bevvy of bananas, a bicycle from boyhood, classic clowning, beguiling stillness, and audience up on stage. All encased within hilarious, poignant, possibly challenging but always compelling drama!
Sarah and Philip embody the endeavours of many of Beckett’s absurd and tragic characters, in their struggle to exist and to remember. Most of all, in their struggle out of silence, towards speaking. Structured as a fragmentary progression, its an entertaining celebration of the act of trying again, failing again, failing better.
