I START AGAIN
celebrating 100 years of
Samuel Beckett and Dmitry Shostakovich

Two of the twentieth century’s finest artists turn 100 this year, or would have, had the tides of time not been drawn to sure. A IS FOR ATLAS brings you a theatrical installation inspired by and reflecting on the work of
these two great artists.

"Ohio Impromptu" by Samuel Beckett (directed by David Myles)
"What Where" by Samuel Beckett (directed by Xan Colman)
"Let’s Eat Hair" by Carl Laszlo (directed by Xan Colman)
"Plum" by Xan Colman (directed by David Myles)

With live performances of excerpts from the repertoire of Dmitry Shostakovich: Sonata for Viola & Piano, Op.147; Sonata for Violin & Piano, Op.134; Piano Sonata No.2 in B minor, Op.61

Four short plays, sonata fragments, and a visual art feast combine for a cross-artform event like no other.

Also featuring the world-first performance of Samuel Beckett’s "What Where" by an all-female cast.
