Gare St Lazare Players: First Love

Wednesday 22 June 2011, 8.00PM

Ireland's most travelled theatre company, the Gare St Lazare Players, perform an arresting stage adaptation of Samuel Beckett's short story: First Love.

Conor Lovett, hailed as the foremost Beckett actor of his generation, brings this one-man tour de force to life. Described by the literary critic, Christopher Ricks, as "a masterpiece of Beckettian perversity", First Love showcases Beckett's extraordinary balancing of comedy and tragedy.

Performed by a company renowned for their ability to expose Beckettt's dark humour, compassion and integrity, this play gives a perfect introduction to the writer's work
