  • The world premiere of No's Knife sees Samuel Beckett, a titan of theatrical writing, exploring the powerful resilience to stay alive.
    Hard on the heels of a sold-out international tour of the Beckett Trilogy, Lisa Dwan presents a fresh and penetrating interpretation of this monologue. Recognised as modern theatre’s foremost adaptor of Beckett’s work, Lisa brings her unexpected and compelling voice to these hitherto unperformed writings.
    "Where would I go, if I could go, who would I be, if I could be, what would I say, if I had a voice, who says this, saying it's me?"
    At The Old Vic Theatre from Thursday 29th September to Saturday 15th October 2016, book your No's Knife tickets today!
