Playing @
Irish Repertory Theatre
132 W 22nd St, New York, NY 10011
Bill Irwin can’t escape Samuel Beckett. He has spent a lifetime captivated by the Irish writer’s language.

In this intimate evening, Irwin will explore a performer’s relationship to Beckett, mining the physical and verbal skills acquired in his years as a master clown and Tony Award-winning actor. Irwin’s approach to the comic, the tragic, to every side of Beckett’s work – including “Waiting for Godot,” “Endgame,” and “Texts for Nothing” – will allow audiences to experience the language in compelling new ways.

Whether you’re encountering the Nobel Prize winner’s writing for the first time, or building on a body of Beckett knowledge, this dynamic showcase is not to be missed.
