First Love (Gate Theatre): 12 Oct - 16 Oct, O'Reilly Theatre, Belvedere
After the death of his father, a man finds himself homeless, sharing a canal-side bench in Dublin with a young woman. As she pursues him lustfully he unwillingly falls in love. In the ensuing relationship, he ruthlessly refuses to engage emotionally with her, except when, despite his reluctance, she arouses his desires. Written in 1946, Beckett’s novella First Love is full of his rich, lyrical prose. This darkly comic story explores how love fails us and how we fail love.
Starring Barry McGovern, regarded by many as one of the leading interpreters of Samuel Beckett’s work, and directed by Michael Colgan, Artistic Director of the Gate Theatre.
Cast and Creative Team:
The Gate Theatre is funded through the Arts Council’s Regularly Funded Organisations funding programme.
