Theatre: The Beckett List at the Samuel Beckett Theatre

4 Nov 2024, 7:00 pm (Past)

Samuel Beckett Theatre, Trinity College Dublin.


Presented by An Táin Arts Centre’s Community Company in Residence, Encore Productions in association with RehabCare.

From Foxrock to the French Resistance, Beckett’s life mirrors a novel, while his plays ignited a theatrical revolution that still burns today.  The Beckett List chronicles his journey from quiet beginnings in turn of the century Dublin to the publication of Waiting for Godot. Alongside key events from his biography, this production brings his characters to life, inviting audiences to wait for Godot, play the Endgame, and delve into the depths of human existence. Experience why Beckett earned the 1969 Nobel Prize in Literature and delve into his world.

The actor’s performances are enriched by art and film elements by Orlaith Cullinane and Dara McCluskey featuring the voice talents of Therese Baxter and Jason Kelly. The show is directed by Sandy Sneddon and all the actors are drawn from RehabCare’s services in Dundalk. Encore productions was the recipient of an Irish Healthcare Centre Award recognising their innovations in delivering a social care service with a serious theatrical focus within a professional arts setting.
