Angel Theatre Company will present a double bill of Samuel Beckett plays, Footfalls and Play, at London’s Brockley Jack Studio Theatre.

Angel Theatre Company’s double bill at the Brockley Jack

In Footfalls, a ghostly figure paces a bare strip of landing outside her dying – if not already dead – mother’s room. Dressed in tatters, she is clearly a shadow of her former self as she engages in conversation with the disembodied voice of her mother until her own light is eventually extinguished.

In Play, three identical urns contain a man, his wife and his mistress. At rapid tempo, when prompted by an inquisitive spotlight, they each recount their own version of an unexceptional affair.

When: 26th February – 9th March 2019, Tuesday – Saturday at 7.30pm
Where: Brockley Jack Studio Theatre, 410 Brockley Road, London SE4 2DH
£: Tickets cost £16 and £13 for concessions
