The End Is In The Beginning

 
 

“A ‘best of Samuel Beckett’ brought to life. Absurd. Poetic. Funny. Quietly devastating. Two astonishing performers. Sixteen works. One unforgettable journey.”

ABOUT THE SHOW

The End Is In The Beginning is an accessible compilation of sixteen of Samuel Beckett’s plays, prose and poems. We particularly welcome audiences who have little or no experience of Beckett’s work.

This intimate performance offers a new way to experience Beckett’s language and meet his characters as they struggle to tell their stories. A kind of ‘best of Beckett’ and a celebration of the act of trying again, failing again, failing better.

Expect a mystery phone call, impossible-to-remove boots, surreal radio broadcasts, a glass of Jamesons, classic clowning, beguiling stillness, some audience up on stage, Godot’s arrival (maybe). All encased within a 2-hander of hilarious, poignant, and compelling drama.

  • Performed by Philip Robinson
