A mouth alone in the dark speaks on stage. A man silently looks for water in the desert. Three characters trapped up to their necks in urns retell their love affair. This is the world of Samuel Beckett. Often called the greatest playwright of the 20th century. His shorter plays are hardly ever seen, and regional theatre companies find it risky too produce Beckett. What makes a classic? With “Beckett’s Shorts”, Surreal SoReal has gathered together nine of Edmonton’s finest artists, from different levels of experience and discipline, to bring modern interpretations of Beckett to the stage. 9 Edmonton directors: Ainsley Hillyard - Vincent Forcier - Mike Kennard - Dave Horak - Jon Lachlan Stewart - Elizabeth Hobbs - Mitchell Cushman - Sandra NicholLs featuring: Belinda Cornish - Vanessa Sabourin - Brian Dooley - Michael Peng - Jon Lachlan Stewart - Vincent Forcier - Amy Keating - Nikolai Witschl - Michael Long Run time approx. 2.5 hours including one intermission. An excellent opportunity to see Beckett performed in Edmonton.
