Gare St Lazare, Ireland's most travelled theatre company, create a unique performance of Samuel Beckett’s short story The End performed by Irish actor Conor Lovett, considered by many to be the definitive Beckett performer. 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.
 
Evicted from an institution of care he stoically fends for himself in a state somewhere between his dreams and reality. Beckett masterfully balances the tragedy with perfectly pitched comedy. Lovett and director Judy Hegarty Lovett have built a reptuation for their arresting presentations of Beckett's prose on stage and have toured all over Ireland and to over 77 cities around the world.

Though renowned for his plays Samuel Beckett considered his prose writing 'the important work'. Gare St Lazare Players Ireland have presented over 10 Beckett prose titles on the stage. The End is the perfect introduction to the humour, compassion and integrity that are the hallmarks of Beckett’s work.
