Footfalls and Play

A ghostly figure paces a bare strip of landing outside her dying mother’s room… Three identical urns contain a man, his wife and his mistress… In Footfalls and Play Beckett offers a bleak, yet tragicomic, view of human existence. Best known for works such as Waiting for Godot, Krapp’s Last Tape and Happy Days, this double bill offers a fascinating glimpse into the unique world of Samuel Beckett. His plays have revolutionised theatre and secured his place as one of the greatest dramatists of the twentieth century. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969.
