28 June – 1 July
Winnie is buried up to her waist. The merciless sun beats down. Her husband Willie barely speaks.
And yet! – she proclaims – ‘this will have been another happy day’.
Defiant, determined and fiercely resilient, Winnie greets each day with humour and boundless optimism, and lives as best she can between the bell for waking, and the bell for sleep.
BAFTA winner Siobhán McSweeney (Derry Girls, The Great Pottery Throw Down) plays Winnie in Beckett’s masterpiece, directed by Caitríona McLaughlin, Artistic Director of Ireland’s national theatre, The Abbey.
