<div> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Cesear's Forum will present Samuel Beckett’s ALL THAT FALL at Kennedy's Down <br>
Under, PlayhouseSquare, Cleveland, Ohio, in a limited September/October engagement. <br>
Mr. Beckett, an Irish “minimalist” playwright, novelist, poet and winner of the 1969 <br>
Nobel Prize in Literature, wrote in both French and English. His style and themes have <br>
many labels; modernist, avant-garde, existential, metaphorical; evolving as part of <br>
the Theatre of the Absurd movement. Works include: WAITING FOR GODOT, <br>
ENDGAME, KRAPP’S LAST TAPE and HAPPY DAYS. His influence on<br>
contemporary theatre has not abated, stylistically notable in the works of Edward Albee, <br>
Harold Pinter and others. <br>
<br>
<br>
ALL THAT FALL was written as a one-act radio play for the BBC in 1956. Beckett <br>
preferred the aural quality of this piece coming to the mind’s eye, and the play has <br>
received limited staging. A tragicomedy, the cadence and minimalist staging challenge is <br>
in presenting the psychological and physical journey of an elderly Irish woman, Maddy<br>
Rooney, within a radio studio environment, but then forgetting that as her perceptions unfold. <br>
<br>
Samuel Beckett’s ALL THAT FALL, Fri. & Sat. at 8 pm, Sept. 10th thru Oct. 16th, <br>
Sunday Matinée, Sept. 26th at 3 pm. All seats $15. Performances at Kennedy’s Down Under, PlayhouseSquare, 1501 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland. Call 216-241-6000 or <br>
