On Beckett
Conceived and performed by Bill Irwin
"Irwin and Beckett are artistic soul mates" -- San Francisco Chronicle
A.C.T. favorite Bill Irwin can't escape Samuel Beckett. He has spent a lifetime captivated by the Irish writer's language. In this intimate 90-minute 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, Texts for Nothing, and more--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.
Runtime: 90 minutes, with no intermission.
