Abstract
The first thing to say about Pan Pan’s performance of Beckett’s 1956 radio play is this: if you’re planning on going to it, please don’t
read this review – it would be a shame to spoil the surprise that awaits you.
And perhaps the second important point is how refreshing (and unusual) it is to be surprised by an Irish production of a play by
Beckett – a writer whose works are usually treated so reverentially that they’re in danger of becoming museum pieces. While this is
a very faithful rendition of the play, Pan Pan provide an experience that is genuinely different from anything you’ll have
encountered in the theatre before.
