Following their sell-out production of The Beckett Trilogy last January, Gare St Lazare return with a unique performance of Samuel Beckett's short story The End performed by Irish actor Conor Lovett, considered by many to be the definitive Beckett performer.


The End is a gritty account of the last days of an old man's life as he struggles to live despite his willingness to die. Evicted from an institution of care he stoically fends for himself in a state somewhere between his dreams and reality. Beckett masterfully balances the tragedy with perfectly pitched comedy.

Gare St Lazare is Ireland's most travelled theatre company and have toured to over 77 cities worldwide.
