2013 All that Fall by Samuel Beckett

A preview of Pan Pan Theatre's production of All That Fall, which was part of the Edinburgh International Festival in 2013.

'A life of unending misery in a world devoid of God, now that's funny.'

Maddy Rooney is in her seventies -- unsightly, ungainly and unwell -- laboriously to-ing and fro-ing between her home and Boghill Station. This is a landscape whose details are drawn from the suburbs of Foxrock and Leopardstown from Beckett's youth, but which may now exist solely in Maddy's mind.

Performed in Pan Pan's atmospheric, theatrically tuned listening chamber, this multi-layered composition of voices is at once a black comedy, a murder mystery, a cryptic literary riddle and a quasi-musical score.
