Samuel Beckett: First Love

Gare St Lazare Players, Ireland

Sorry this event has been and gone.

NZ PREMIERE.

A compelling encounter with a man reflecting on his first romance, First Love is full of Samuel Beckett's trademark dark humour. A masterpiece of Beckettian perversion, First Love turns the traditional love story on its head.

Acclaimed interpreters of Samuel Beckett's plays, novels and short stories, Conor Lovett performs and Judy Hegarty Lovett directs First Love.

Hailed for their fresh and accessible interpretations, Conor Lovett and Judy Hegarty Lovett have collaborated on over 17 Beckett titles, touring to more than 22 countries with their precise and elegant work.

Gare St Lazare Players will also be performing Beckett's The End as part of the 2011 Festival programme.

Master Class: Solo-Performance and Intrepretations of Prose with Gare St Lazare Players
Sunday 20 March, 10:00am - 12:00pm
