“Script Talk!” begins Tuesday, September 14 with Samuel Beckett’s existential classic, “Happy Days”. Winnie, a decidedly cheerful older woman, is buried up to her waist in sand on a deserted beach with nothing but a large black handbag and a parasol by her side. In Winnie’s running monologue of mostly non sequiturs Becket explores optimism, aging, loneliness and husband/wife relations among many other themes. The play still manages to confound and delight audiences and the now legendary performance of Irene Worth as Winnie, has been captured in an acclaimed 1980 film adaptation. The film will be shown in conjunction with the play discussion on September 14 led by TomHolehan.
“Script Talk!” is co-sponsored by Stratford’s Square One Theatre Company.
“Script Talk!” is held in the Stratford Library’s Lovell Room beginning at noon each month. Participants are invited to bring a bag lunch; coffee and tea are also served. Copies of all books and plays are currently available for loan at the library’s Circulation Desk. The discussion programs are free and open to the public.
