SUMMARY:The Beckett Experience: Four Times/Times Four\, Directed by Eric Pr
 ince
DESCRIPTION:Opening Night includes a pre-show lecture\, which includes an i
 ntroduction to Samuel Beckett’s life and work\, illustrated with photos 
 and images from a history of Beckett productions at CSU and in collaborati
 on with Bas Bleu Theatre\, Fort Collins (Run time: 30 – 35 minutes).\n\n
 Samuel Beckett — Irish playwright\, theatre director\, novelist\, and po
 et — is one of the most influential writers of the 20th century and tran
 sports his audience to a strange and mysterious world often located at the
  very brink of death\, that “undiscovered country” for which his chara
 cters so often yearn. But his works are far from depressing. There is grea
 t beauty in the writing and a determination to stare mortality in the face
 . There is no better guide to the human spirit’s darker depths.\n\nOn se
 eing these plays you may well leave feeling unexpectedly elated\, although
  perhaps scary\, a walk through the night can be invigorating. This event 
 marks the culmination of many years of research and performance from CSU
 ’s Center for Studies in Beckett and Performance\, the only academic cen
 ter world-wide devoted to the theatre of Samuel Beckett.\n• Come and Go:
  Three women\, three old friends\, sit on a bench. They gossip. They whisp
 er. They come and go. They leave us a message. One of Beckett’s briefest
  and most cryptic plays.\n• Rockaby\, featuring Wendy Ishii and directed
  by Laura Jones: An elderly woman rocks in a chair as a distant voice reca
 lls her lifelong search for human contact. One of Beckett’s starkest min
 imalist works\, a study in old age\, isolation\, and disengagement from li
 fe. Haunting and profoundly moving.\n• Dieppe (Quatre Poèmes): A dramat
 ized evocation of one of Beckett’s most personal poems. A small premiere
 \, or as they say in the circus\, “something never attempted before.”\
 n• Play: One of Beckett’s most chilling yet darkly comic masterpieces.
  A man\, his wife\, and his mistress. Another eternal triangle. Eternity. 
 All three are up to their necks in it. Another of Beckett’s plays in whi
 ch actors are pushed to the very limits of what is possible. A mesmerizing
  experience.\n\n
