Join us for the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s Production of “On Beckett”:
Tony Award-winning actor and master clown Bill Irwin (Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Sesame Street) has spent a lifetime captivated by Samuel Beckett. With little more than a funny hat and a podium, Irwin mines the comedy and tragedy of Beckett’s work—including Waiting for Godot, Texts for Nothing, and more—in a nonstop display of jovial verbal and physical comedy that has become Irwin’s signature. Whether you’re encountering the Nobel Prize winner’s writings for the first time or building on a body of Beckett knowledge, the “pure, energizing joy” (The New York Times) of Irwin’s dynamic showcase is not to be missed.
Time: Happy Hour at 6:30, Play begins at 7:30

Member price - $79, non -member- $88
Happy hour will begin at 6:30 in the reception area. Look for an area cordoned off for us.
All ticket holders will also be invited to join STC's Artistic Producer and dramaturg in residence Drew Lichtenberg for a discussion about Bill Irwin's ON BECKETT. Drew will discuss Irwin's virtuosic clown training and how it has made him a foremost interpreter of the works of Samuel Beckett, providing a key to the Irish modernist's mysterious, poetic, and ultimately classic writings.
This will be held on Sunday, Feb. 22 at 5pm.
