Beckett short plays at the Duchess
« on: 04 February, 2014, 08:08:32 pm »
Quite rare to see Beckett in the west end (unless celebs in Godot), and these are my favourite 3 of his short plays, each mesmerising in their own way.  Lisa Dwan has had very good reviews for Not I so a good chance to see what's she's like.  I may go twice if it's good  ;)

On until 15th Feb with matinees on Thursday & Saturday.

Not I is an awesome piece to experience.  One of my favourites.
Getting there...

Talking of celebrities, one highlight of my play-going was seeing Max Wall in Krapp's Last Tape in Greenwich. Sometime late 70s early 80s as I recall.
The Barbican Beckett series, year before last (?), was good.
