Make-up Lecture slot booked/ The Beckett Project

Hi guys,

I've booked LT AVA for lecture onthe 2/9/06. It starts at 8 am and it should end by 12 pm.

There's an alternative to coming back on Saturday, and that is, coming back on a Friday 1/9. The library's open then.

Meanwhile, check out The Beckett Project

"Like faintly recalled dream fragments, the images are subjective... spellbinding... presented with style and fire. They insinuate themselves into the viewer's mind and heart - L.A. Times

Critically acclaimed in Los Angeles, the UK, Ireland and Austria, The Beckett Project makes its Asian debut this August with performances of four plays by renowned Irish playwright Samuel Beckett.

Joining award-winning American actress Patricia Boyette and the third cohort of TTRP's graduating actor-students take on the difficult task of performing this diverse set of late plays by Samuel Beckett.

The Beckett Project showcases graduating actor-students in Play and Footfalls (in mandarin with english subtitles), and Patricia in her award-winning performances of Rockaby and Not I. These tightly-orchestrated plays offer moments that are in turn haunting, evocative, and humorous. Given their precision, all offer a tremendous challenge for the actor.

Performed to mark the Beckett Centenary, The Beckett Project is a unique opportunity to experience the range and diversity of plays authored by the Nobel prize-winning Beckett in one evening - another milestone for local theatre.

Beckett's work has garnered much criticism and debate. Some have viewed him as a pessimist, while others think his work captures our common human condition. Come decide for yourself!
