Not Beckett
On the Francis J. Greenburger Mainstage
Featuring Wait by FELISPEAKS, I Can’t Remember The by Nicola McCartney, Never Apologize by Jennifer Barclay, duet by Olwen Fouéré, The Lighthouse Keeper’s Son by Hannah Khalil
Not Beckett is an international rolling world premiere of five new short plays. These plays, presented as staged readings in conversation with Samuel Beckett’s work, will not be adaptations, but will instead be loosely inspired by a seed from the Beckett canon. Written by female-identifying and non-binary playwrights of diversified Irish descent across the globe, the goal is to use the inspiration of these contemporary classic plays to create a new canon.
