Samuel Beckett's The End
"Lovett's capacity to hold an audience is remarkable. His voice control and subtle shifts of expression and movement seem effortless." The Guardian
Info:
Arriving at the Redfern on a tidal wave of international acclaim, the Irish theatre company Gare St. Lazare Players Ireland presents a mesmerizing theatrical adaptation of The End, a short story by Samuel Beckett. Started in english and finished in french, and performed here as a one-man show by the masterful storyteller Conor Lovett. In it a man recounts an episode late in his life when, having been expelled from an institution of care, he finds his own way in the world. He meets a variety of characters and situations before finally lying down to let life ebb away. It is one of Beckett's most complete, most compelling and most beautiful works and is a Gare St Lazare favourite.
Told with humanistic insight and wry Irish wit, The End is a remarkable story brought to life by the dazzling talents of its performer. As The Los Angeles Times raves, “One could hardly come up with a better human instrument to intone the sonorous waves of Samuel Beckett's blasphemous comic prose than Conor Lovett.”
