'Whether you’re a Beckett buff or not, YOU NEED TO SEE THIS.' F. Murray Abraham 'has to be ranked one of the BEST EVER' stars of KRAPP'S LAST TAPE – as he is 'perfectly cast' in 'the MOST IMPRESSIVE PERFORMANCE now on any New York stage'. With a critically-acclaimed 'FIRST RATE CAST', BECKETT BRIEFS is 'ENDURINGLY HYPNOTIC' ... the show is an 'excellent tryptich', 'visceral and engrossing', with Sarah Street 'a particular standout'.

What's it like to work on Beckett? "It's a challenge not every actor wants to try, because you find out what you're made of," says F. Murray Abraham. The cast of BECKETT BRIEFS is unstoppable-- a happy opening and hearty congratulations to the BECKETT BRIEFS team for all of their excellent work!

BECKETT BRIEFS features three short plays by Samuel Beckett, directed by Ciarán O'Reilly and starring F. Murray Abraham, Roger Dominic Casey, Kate Forbes, and Sarah Street. The plays span the gamut of existence—from birth to the afterlife.
