Beckett in the City: The Women Speak

Share on Social Media

Playing @
Irish Arts Center
726 11th Avenue, New York, NY 10019
Experience the women who inhabit some of Beckett’s best-known short works, women whose connection between body and soul has ruptured. 

In this site-specific performance, director Sarah Jane Scaife places Beckett’s characters from the page into the urban landscape, using the aesthetic tools of the body, sound, site, movement, architecture, and projection to put flesh on the scars the playwright reveals within our society.

Beckett in the City is a body of work that celebrates and reveals Beckett’s writings as existing all around us. 

"Not I," "Footfalls," "Come and Go" and "Rockaby" 
by Samuel Beckett. 
Conceived and presented by Company SJ
