Beckett in Foxrock 2021 - The End by Samuel Beckett

Mouth On Fire Productions

Beckett in Foxrock 2021 is a double bill of The Beckett Country, beautifully filmed in sunny Dublin, interpreted and narrated by Dr Feargal Whelan and The End, Beckett’s darkly funny tale memorably performed by Marcus Lamb.


The descriptions of the river flowing into the bay, the surrounding hills and their burning gorse strongly evoke Beckett’s own south County Dublin, from his birthplace in Foxrock (Boghill in 'All that Fall') to Tullow Church, which he attended with his mother, to Trinity College and Carrickmines Golf Club where he mentally replayed the first four holes when, in later life, he couldn’t sleep.

Beckett in Foxrock 2021 is the fifth annual event honouring the writer’s close connection with the Foxrock area. Samuel Beckett, Nobel Laureate, was born and brought up in Foxrock and was a regular attender, along with his mother, at Tullow Church the usual venue for previous Beckett in Foxrock live performances.

Beckett in Foxrock 2021 is organised by Tullow Parish and Mouth on Fire Theatre Company in association with Foxrock Area Community and Enterprise (FACE) with the support of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council and Hunters Estate Agent.
