Event

Beckett in Winter II

The Custom Made Theatre Company Presents annual workshop "Beckett in Winter" featuring Becketts brilliant short plays "Rockaby", "What Where", and "Ohio Impromptu."

"Beckett in Winter II" continues our 2007/08 workshop series, becoming an annual favorite for San Francisco Beckett fans. Featuring our traditional Ohio Impromptu along with Becketts last play, What Where and the beautiful Rockaby, this evening of wonderful short plays is both poetic and gripping.

"Ohio Impromptu" and "Rockaby" offer us, in true Beckett form, a glimpse at the precarious nature of life's final moments, of the mind's inner dialogue when facing the shadow of the journeys end. What Where takes us on a more sinister trek to our universal fate.

The Custom Made Theatre Company was founded in Boston, Massachusetts in 1996 and relocated to the Bay Area in 1998 where it has produced such sold out and critically acclaimed productions as Stephen Sondheims Assassins, David Mamets The Old Neighborhood, Woody Allens God and Death, Wendy Wassersteins The Heidi Chronicles, the world premiere of Scott Sublet's musical comedy "Bye-bye, bin Laden" (named a Best Premiere by the Bay Guardian), Elie Wiesel's "The Trial of God", and Vaclav Havel's "Temptation" and Stephen Sondheim's "Assassins".
