Description

The Beckett Summer School 2016 is pleased to partner with the GPO in the centenary year of the Rising, and to offer an opportunity to experience one of Dublin's most historic locations. Barry McGovern, a world-renowned interpreter of Samuel Beckett's work, will present texts that reflect Beckett's troubled relationship to Irish nationalism, including one featuring the GPO itself.

All tickets for this event are standing only. It will be followed by a wine reception.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Barry McGovern is recognized by many as one of the leading interpreters of the work of Samuel Beckett. He has played Vladimir, Estragon and Lucky in Waiting for Godot, Clov in Endgame, Willie in Happy Days and Krapp in Krapp’s Last Tape. On radio he has played Henry in Embers, Fox in Rough for Radio II and directed All that Fall. He has also played Words in Words and Music. He played Vladimir in the Beckett on Film Godot.

In 2012 he played Vladimir to Alan Mandell’s Estragon in Los Angeles and earlier this year played Clov to his Hamm. His two one-man Beckett shows I’ll Go On and Watt, produced by the Gate Theatre, have toured worldwide. He frequently lectures on, and gives readings of, Beckett’s work. His recordings of the complete Three Novels (Molloy, Malone Dies and The Unnamable) are available from RTÉ. Last year he taught Joyce and Beckett at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana. He will be performing a stage adaptation of Beckett's First Love at the Dublin Theatre Festival in October.
