    All I can say is RUN to see it! It is an amazing, awesome piece of theater, even if you’ve never heard of Samuel Beckett. Pure poetry in motion.

DURATION 6 min.

Regarded as the greatest living Beckett interpreter, Conor Lovett’s one-man performance of First Love has mesmerized audiences around the world. 

One of Samuel Beckett’s early novellas, First Love contains much of his distinctive black humor and a plot that is regarded as a masterpiece of the author’s perversity.  A young man, expelled from the family home upon the death of his father, takes refuge on a bench by a canal.  There he meets a woman who takes him home with comically disastrous consequences. 

In this web-exclusive broadcast video, Conor Lovett, discusses First Love's transition from book to stage.
