Artist Gare St Lazare Players Ireland
Show Name THE END & CALMATIVE
A unique performance of Samuel Beckett’s short prose The End and The
Calmative presented together in one exciting double bill.
The End is a gritty account of the last days of an old man’s life as
he struggles to live despite his willingness to die, while The Calmative
is the focus of a haunting night time trek across one man’s hometown
in a state somewhere between his dreams and reality. Two stories
adapted for the stage and presented in the great tradition of the Irish
storytelling, the perfect introduction to the humour, compassion and
integrity that are the hallmarks of Beckett’s work.
