About this Event

Living Room Theatre presents THE END IS IN THE BEGINNINGA brush with Beckett, his characters, and their words in this fast-paced remix that includes 16 of Samuel Beckett's plays, prose, and poems!!

In this intimate, two-hander performance, you'll dive into the genius & surreal world of Beckett - both the comic and the tragic,

Whether you’re discovering this Nobel Prize winner’s writing for the first time or deepening your Beckett knowledge, this theatrical showcase is an encounter not to be missed.

You can expect:

  • A mystery phone call
  • Impossible-to-remove boots
  • The horrors of home life
  • A bevvy of bananas
  • A bicycle from boyhood
  • Classic clowning
  • Beguiling stillness...

All wrapped in hilarious, poignant, possibly challenging — but always compelling — drama.

Sarah & Philip embody the endeavours of Beckett’s absurd and tragic characters — their struggle to exist, to remember, and most of all, their struggle out of silence towards speaking. This performance is an entertaining celebration of trying again, failing again, failing better...

Running time: 100 mins including a short interval Suitable for ages 12+Tickets: Pay What You Can: £4/£8/£10This event will take place on the Main Library floor, with accesible toilets nearby. The Library is fully wheelchair accesible throughout. There will also be a designated chill-out space.
