Synopsis : Think of it as a Beckett marathon of sorts, if you like.

A Buckettful of Beckett will feature a collection of eight short plays by the Irish playwright Samuel Beckett, better known for his well crafted yet ambiguous qualities of writing for theatre, television and even radio.

A Nobel Prize winner, his works are often likened to an orchestral score, without the orchestra.

This anthology will feature some of his most challenging works for every human facet:

Catastrophe - A director and his assistant put the final touches to the last scene of a dramatic presentation.

Rockaby - A woman sits and recounts details from her own life, and that of her mother's.

Not I - A woman insisting that she did not.

Play - 3 people recount their affair.

Act Without Words II - Two men, two sacks, one goad.

Come and Go - 3 women and a secret.

Ohio Impromptu - Two men, sitting at a table. The narrative tells of relief, loss and love.

What Where - 4 characters enter and exit the stage.

Expect a night of visually arresting images and thought provoking dialogue, from a mouth on stage to humans in urns.

The first of its kind in the local theatre scene, this production in marks KL Ensemble’s maiden effort since its official inception in 2006. Directed by Christopher Jacobs.
