Play Reading Book Club: On Beckett

Over the course of three weeks the club will read, dissect, and discuss Bill Irwin’s On Beckett, guided by a teaching artist. They’ll attend the performance as a group, followed by an exclusive reception with artists from the show!

In On Beckett, world renowned actor and clown Bill Irwin explores a performer’s relationship to the works of legendary playwright Samuel Beckett—incorporating passages from various works by the Irish writer, including Waiting for Godot, Texts for Nothing, and Watt. Irwin’s physical approach to the comic and tragic sides of Beckett’s writing invites audiences to experience the writer’s language as they never have before.
