Gare St Lazare Ireland leads the way in staging Samuel Beckettʼs plays and prose. Since 1996, the company has performed and developed works that are timeless (Waiting for Godot), cross-disciplinary (The Beckett Trilogy, How it Is), and hybrid (Shades Through A Shade). Whether working independently or in collaboration, the company brings fresh interpretations and inventive approaches to Beckettʼs work.
