Schedule

Auditorium

7-7.35pm: Beckett and Byrne: Discussion with Gerard Byrne, Judith Wilkinson and Kirsty Ogg

7.35-7.55pm: Screening:
Eh Joe (1965/66 ) 20 mins. dir. Alan Gibson. Starring Jack Macgowran and Sian Phillips.
Written specially for television by Beckett, this play features only one visible character, Joe, who speaks not a single word throughout the play, and the voice of an unseen woman whom Joe once loved.

7.55-8.30pm: Screening of Lisa Dwan performing Samuel Beckett's 1972 monologue Not I followed by Dwan in conversation with Nicholas Lezard.

Lisa Dwan has inherited this remarkably challenging text - one of the most gruelling solo pieces in theatre - directly from Billie Whitelaw, the great actress, and one of Beckett's favourite performers, whose legendary rendering of this iconic work premiered 40 years ago in 1973.

8.40-9pm: Phil Coy: Krapp’s Shultz (2012) An automatic screenplay
