Description The first ever stage production of the extraordinary Beckett drama. Originally devised for television, transformed for the stage by Atom Egoyan and featuring the voice of Penelope Wilton.
Joe sits in his room sealed off from the world. A voice lures him to examine the shrads of his rough life. As he contemplates the voice's accusations, the entire wave of human emotion is captured on camera. The astonishing visual image and the voice's spoken word entwine together in a mesmerising tour de force.
