The experience is profound and deeply moving. Lisa Dwan makes the pieces entirely her own with a rapt concentration that holds the audience throughout
***** The Telegraph
An extraordinary hour-long experience that feels more like a group hallucination… totally gripping… unforgettable
****The Independent
A Royal Court Theatre and Lisa Dwan production in association with Cusack Projects Ltd.
Three classic plays executed in just one-hour long, rarely performed, piece.
Not I is an intense monologue, set in a pitch-black space lit by a single beam of light. A disembodied female mouth floats eight feet above the stage and delivers a stream of consciousness, spoken, as Beckett directed, at the speed of thought.
Footfalls tells the moving story of May, a ghostly figure who paces back and forth like a metronome outside her dying mother’s room.
Completing the trilogy is Rockaby – probably the most famous of Beckett’s last works and explores loneliness and loss as a woman sits on her rocking chair recounting moments from her past.
Lisa Dwan performs in this one-woman Beckett trilogy which comes to Belfast following a critically acclaimed sell-out run at the Royal Court Theatre and in London’s West End.
This performance will be performed in a total blackout.
