Beckett: Feck it! is a provocative and elegiac show that juxtaposes shorter plays of Samuel Beckett with contemporary classical music from outstanding Irish composers inspired by his appreciation for the absurd. This music will include works by noted Irish composers Gerald Barry and Andrew Hamilton. Featured plays include Act Without Words II, Come and Go, Play, and Ohio Impromptu.This new production reunites the renowned Canadian Beckett director Jennifer Tarver with Dáirine Ní Mheadhra & John Hess (music direction), and showcases a dynamic Canadian cast comprised of actors Laura Condlln, Michal Grzejszczak, Tom Rooney, and Sofia Tomic, sharing the stage with soprano Shannon Mercer and trumpet player Michael Fedyshyn. Queen of Puddings brings their signature contemporary twist to this invigorating evening of music, theatre, and Irish madness.
