Fail Better Beckett Season
We have been honouring the 20th anniversary of the author's death through a series of events this season. Stasis (Rough for Theatre II and Ohio Impromptu by Samuel Beckett) was revived at Oxford Playhouse with performances last month.
At Warwick University, our student ensemble has been engaged with the BeckettLab practice-as-research project and the academic symposium Beckett and the Brain.
Five Star Edinburgh Show
Diary of a Madman played at Underbelly as part of this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Broadway Baby gave the show a five-star review and Time Out London declared Fail Better 'the returning champion'. Other press included:
"... remarkably punchy ... strikingly inventive ... a truly gripping piece of theatre."
**** Fest
"A powerful and moving piece of theatre."
**** Three Weeks
The New Statesman have published the article Translating Lorca discussing our recent production of Play without a Title alongside the Belgrade's The House of Bernarda Alba.
Fail Better are currently Company in Residence at The CAPITAL Centre. Watch this space and join our Facebook group for regular updates.
