Samuel Beckett - All That Fall

BBC Radio 4 - Drama on 4, Samuel Beckett - All That Fall

Samuel Beckett's playful and mysterious journey of words and sounds.

4 Extra Debut. A journey of words and sounds, inspired by memories of the writer's native Foxrock in Ireland.  Stars Bríd Brennan. From 2016.

A playful, mysterious journey of words and sounds - one of Samuel Beckett's most naturalistic plays, inspired by memories of his native Foxrock in Ireland. 

A tale of about faltering journeys - an old woman sets out to greet her husband at the station on his birthday, only for events to take a deeply unsettling turn...

Tony Award-winner Bríd Brennan leads the cast as the unforgettable Maddy Rooney - crotchety and funny, self pitying and self-important, and defiant in her small, strained act of love. Beckett described his radio plays as "coming out of the dark".
