A strong streak of Beckett humour is present in the conversational exchanges in these 3 short plays that look at human destiny in terms of poignancy, compassion and inevitability.
1) Rough for Theatre 2 (30 mins): Two observers who may or may not be officials discuss a man contemplating suicide.
2) That Time (30 mins): An Irish labourer after years in Britain looks back on his earlier life and his disappointing career, before he dies.
3) Rockaby (30 mins): An old woman, sick of life, rocks herself into the next life.
