Stasis: Beckett Shorts - Rough for Theatre II/Ohio Impromptu archive

Two rarely seen Beckett gems are given a new lease of life by the exciting young company Fail Better Productions founded in 2001. Rough For Theatre II explores the comedy of hopelessness and the absurdity of bureaucracy through final judgments, devious lamps and caged birds. Recalling the intricate dialogue of Waiting for Godot and the atmosphere of Pinter's Dumb Waiter, this one-act play is a lost classic. This unique double bill continues with Ohio Impromptu, written by Beckett for a symposium marking his seventy-fifth birthday, and allegedly based on his time spent with James Joyce in Paris. Only 10 minutes long but intensely layered, this hyper-real storytelling leaves the listener in awe of its beauty.
