What's on

This special festival concert responds to the theatre and dance programme via six contemporary works, featuring three world-première commissions and two UK / France premières.

C’est Moi Dans la Poubelle is a film rendition of the meeting between Beckett and Ezra Pound, according to Beckett's account, with treatment by James Lever and directed by Michael O’Neill (Armchair & Rocket).

Having collaborated with emblematic French actor Denis Lavant on a number of Beckett's monologues, Jacques Osinski has taken on a new, exciting andfrightening challenge: his favourite play, Beckett's Fin de partie.

This dance piece is a Beckett Unbound 2024 Festival commission created by choreographer Liz Roche in collaboration with performer / composers Nathalie Forget and Nick Roth.

The sonic experiments, discoveries and evolutions of Beckett’s radio play All That Fall (1956) are re-imagined by director Adrian Dunbar for the Beckett Unbound Festival.

This ambitious three-day festival explores Beckett’s wild fascination with communication and technology’s traversal of time and distance across a programme of theatre, music, film, dance, photography, and discussion.
