Not I by Samuel Beckett: The curtain raiser for our Beckett Evening

There is much to be said in the mind. The voice of a woman, trapped in some paralysis. The Mouth, her thoughts and the desperate search for something, anything, in her darkness. Casting light on four incidents from her loveless life, this short stream of consciousness, strictly constrained to the third person, is intellectually engrossing and disturbing.

Happy Days by Samuel Beckett: The main show of our Beckett Evening.

Winnie and Willie wake up to yet another happy day in the sunshine. Or at least, so Winnie would have us believe. But maybe her situation is not quite so comfortable as she seems to think. And perhaps things get worse. Or perhaps they get better...

These Lace Market Theatre amateur productions are presented by arrangement with Samuel French, Ltd.

Along with the post-show talkback on Friday, 23 May for your chance to put your questions to the cast and crew, we also have a free talk on Wednesday, 21 May from Dr Joseph Anderton on Beckett's work; and live music on Thursday, 22 May from Iryna from MuHa.
