DON’T COPY ME

MAY - JUNE 2024 | SAMUEL BECKETT THEATRE

As part of the Samuel Beckett Theatre’s 30th anniversary programme

In the 30-year-old Beckett Centre, three women come together to discuss Beckett. And Pinter. And Chekhov. And Shakespeare. Through thoroughly differing perspectives, they talk about whether Ophelia is a good part, even though she only has 58 lines; about the (im)possibility of a female Waiting for Godot; about the merit of respecting theatre history, when they could also destroy it. Gift Horse Theatre returns to do what it does best: rework the repertoire.

DON'T COPY ME is an original production bringing together lecture, lies, fact, fiction, music, and dance to explore whether it is possible to create work in the present without responding to the past.
