About This Event

Liverpool Playhouse Theatre is set to host a compelling double bill of Samuel Beckett's seminal short plays, *Play* and *Come and Go*, on Thursday 17 September 2026. This significant event forms part of the wider Beckett: Lieben 2026 Biennale, a celebration of the Nobel laureate's enduring work. The production, brought to the stage by Unreal Cities, offers a stark and unflinching exploration of the human condition. These two concise yet powerful pieces, *Play* and *Come and Go*, delve deep into universal themes that resonate with audiences. They confront the complexities of memory, the pervasive sense of confinement, and the often inescapable cyclical nature of life itself. The performances promise an intimate and thought-provoking encounter with Beckett's uniquely profound and frequently unsettling perspective on existence. This is an opportunity to experience the master playwright's distinctive voice and his enduring relevance live on stage.
