ON BECKETT
on the Francis J. Greenburger Mainstage
Conceived and Performed by Bill Irwin
Produced in association with Octopus Theatricals
July 10 — August 4, 2024
Bill Irwin still can’t escape Samuel Beckett. In this intimate 90-minute evening, Irwin will explore a performer’s relationship with 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, and every side of Beckett’s work—including Waiting for Godot, Texts for Nothing, and more—invites you to experience Beckett in compelling new ways.
ON BECKETT premiered here at Irish Rep in 2018, winning a special Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Alternative Theatrical Experience. At that time Ben Brantley, writing for The New York Times, hailed the show as “captivating…radiant, living theater.” ON BECKETT is not to be missed.
