50 minutesIvy Studio
A woman's mouth speaks faster than thought can follow. A man alone with the voice he cannot silence. A figure in a rocking chair, descending into stillness. Three lives. Three reckonings. Three short plays about people on the edge of catharsis, alone. Together, they form an art-house triptych of extraordinary intimacy and power – spare, beautiful and haunting in its insistence that language might set us free.

About the show

Presented by Luciann Lajoie, Timothy McCracken, Blackbox Productions and McSquared, this production at Ivy Studio brings together three short Beckett plays in a single sitting. A woman's mouth speaks faster than thought can follow. A man alone with the voice he cannot silence. A figure in a rocking chair, descending into stillness. Together, these three plays form an art-house triptych described as spare, beautiful, and haunting — three lives, three reckonings, exploring the possibility that language might set us free. Running 50 minutes, rated 16+.

Why see this show?

Three Beckett plays staged as a single triptych — spare, intimate, and genuinely affecting. For anyone drawn to theatre that trusts silence as much as language, this is a rare opportunity to see all three together in one room.
