Rosary Hartel O'Neill
The drama is based on a turning point in the life of the young writer, Samuel Beckett. Set on the exotic rocky coast of Ireland in the 1930's, Beckett must choose between leaving his country for psychotherapy or abandoning his talent. While facing the sea, he carries on imaginary confrontations with his father, mother, sister and lovers as only Beckett can. A tour de force characterization for a stellar actor, the play exposes the contentious mind of the emerging world famous playwright. Empty space setting of Greystones Bay provides opportunities for sound and visuals.
Beckett at Greystones Bay was a finalist in the Pen and Brush, NYC, International Competition, winner of a Tyrone Guthrie Irish fellowship, and heralded on tour by the Hudson Opera House.
