Gare St Lazare Players: The End

Friday 24 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: The End.

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", The End is a heartbreaking and hilarious production.

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.
