Following a premiere at the Old Vic in London, No’s Knife comes to Dublin for its Irish opening. Conceived and performed by Irish actor Lisa Dwan, the show draws on a selection of texts from Beckett’s short story collection Texts for Nothing. As Dwan says in an interview, “Beckett was writing these [texts] at a time when Europe was trying to understand itself after the war, and I think today we’re at a time when Europe is grappling to understand itself again.”
