Three Short Plays by Samuel Beckett
Directed by Ciarán O’Reilly
Featuring F. Murray Abraham, Roger Dominic Casey, Kate Forbes, and Sarah Street

Three short plays that run the gamut of existence, from birth to the afterlife.

NOT I
“Practically speechless….all her days.”
A non-verbal woman, abandoned by her parents at birth and resigned to an uneventful life, suddenly hears voices at the age of 70 and realizes it’s she who is speaking.

PLAY
“We were not long together when she smelled the rat.”
Eternally together in the afterlife and locked in their urns, a man, his wife, and his mistress relay the sordid details of their love triangle.

KRAPP’S LAST TAPE
“Perhaps my best years are gone…But I wouldn’t want them back. Not with the fire in me now. No, I wouldn’t want them back.”
Krapp (F. Murray Abraham), an aged man, reviews his life with the assistance of his younger self, heard on autobiographical tape recordings.

Running Time: Approximately 75 minutes with no intermission.

Once you start watching, you will have 3 days to complete your viewing.
