Ante-Beckett

Duration: 30 mins, followed by post-show discussion with actor.

An original one act comedy written by Joel Smith.

The play centres around a single character, a Samuel Beckett type figure dealing with the life in which he is present, his mother’s womb, and the one he is preparing to face in the vast world beyond. Apart from his struggles with the idea of his existence, he is forced to deal with the overbearing presence of his mother and the constant clamour of the outside world of which he is soon to be part. The play is reflective of Beckett's work and themes are written and performed in the playful rhythm and style synonymous with his plays and suitable for an audience with or without a previous knowledge of his work.

Performed By Paddy McEneaney.

Directed by John Carty.

Design by Eniko Hegyi, Michael Cummins and Joe Hunt.
