Bill Irwin still can鈥檛 escape Samuel Beckett. The MacArthur Fellow has spent a lifetime captivated by the Irish writer鈥檚 language. In this intimate 90-minute evening, Irwin will explore a performer鈥檚 relationship with Beckett, mining the physical and verbal skills acquired in his years as a master clown and Tony Award-winning actor. Irwin鈥檚 approach to the comic, the tragic, and every side of Beckett鈥檚 work鈥攊ncluding Waiting for Godot, Texts for Nothing, and more鈥攚ill allow audiences to experience the language in compelling new ways. Whether you鈥檙e encountering the Nobel Prize winner鈥檚 writing for the first time or building on a body of Beckett knowledge, this dynamic showcase is not to be missed. </td> </tr> </table> </div></div> <table style="margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%"> <tr> <td style="margin: 0; padding: 0"> <div class="iobdb-frame" style="border-radius:13px; box-shadow:10px 10px 5px #CCCCCC"> <div class="iobdb-legend" style="border-radius:25px; background-color:rgb(0,0,156)"> <span id="Opening Night Credits">Opening Night Credits</span> <h2 hidden>Opening Night Credits</h2> </div><div class="iobdb-body" > <br/><div style="background-color:#ABABAB; color:white; padding-left:8px; font-weight:bold; border-radius:25px">Production Credits</div> <table style="width:100%"> <tr> <th style="width:1%"></th> <th>Person/Company</th> <th>Credit</th> </tr> <tr style="border-top: 1px solid #f5f5f5"> <td> </td> <td> <a href="/CreditableEntity/56376" style="text-decoration:none; color:rgb(151,0,51)" title="Has 1 credit">Octopus Theatricals</a> </td> <td> Producer </td> </tr> <tr style="border-top: 1px solid #f5f5f5"> <td> </td> <td> <a href="/CreditableEntity/629" style="text-decoration:none; color:rgb(151,0,51)" title="Has 110 credits">Irish Repertory Theatre</a> </td> <td> Presenter </td> </tr> <tr style="border-top: 1px solid #f5f5f5"><td> </td><td> </td></tr> <tr style="border-top: 1px solid #f5f5f5"> <td> <div style="width: 21px; height: 30px; border: 1px solid lightgrey"> <a href="/CreditableEntity/3540" style="background-color: transparent; text-decoration: none"> <img src="/CreditableEntity/Image/Thumbnail/3540" style="border:none; width:21px; height:30px" /></a> </div> </td> <td> <a href="/CreditableEntity/3540" style="text-decoration:none; color:rgb(151,0,51)" title="Has 31 credits">Bill Irwin</a> </td> <td> Conceiver </td> </tr> </table> <br/><div style="background-color:#ABABAB; color:white; padding-left:8px; font-weight:bold; border-radius:25px">Cast</div> <table style="width:100%"> <tr> <th style="width:1%"></th> <th>Actor</th> <th>Role</th> <th></th> </tr> <tr style="border-top: 1px solid #f5f5f5"> <td> <div style="height: 30px; border: 1px solid lightgrey"> <a href="/CreditableEntity/3540" style="background-color: transparent; text-decoration: none"> <img src="/CreditableEntity/Image/Thumbnail/3540" style="border:none; /*width:21px;*/ /*height:30px*/" /></a> </div> </td> <td> <a href="/CreditableEntity/3540" style="text-decoration:none; color:rgb(151,0,51)" title="Has 31 credits">Bill Irwin</a> </td> <td>N/A</td> <td></td> </tr> </table> </div></div> </td> </tr> </table> </section> </div> <footer style="height:60px"> <div class="content-wrapper" style="color:gray"> <div class="float-left"> <p> <a href="/TermsOfUse" target="_blank">Terms of Use</a><br /> <a href="/PrivacyStatement" target="_blank">Privacy Statement</a> </p> </div> <div class="float-right"> <p> ©2025 Lucille Lortel Foundation.
