BECKETT: Nothing Is Certain

A design-forward exploration into the world of the hyper-prescriptive Samuel Beckett, BECKETT: Nothing Is Certain brings together a selection of his dynamic and incisive short plays. Minimalist—yet richly expressive; these pieces unfold as a series of vivid theatrical tableaux. The text shares the stage with movement, light, and space—each element specifically crafted to illuminate the curiosity, tension, and profound humanity at the heart of Beckett’s work. When we find ourselves asking why, we must lean into the truth of the now.

“Beckett: Nothing is Certain” is a selection of Beckett Shorts: Act without Words I & II, Rough for Theatre I & II, Quad, What Where and Rockaby by Samuel Beckett. The plays are presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
