FELDMAN Why Patterns? (30’)
BECKETT Rockaby (20’)
BECKETT / FELDMAN Words & Music (42’)

Visionary titans in their respective artforms, the warm friendship of composer Morton Feldman and playwright Samuel Beckett resulted in some of the most extraordinary artworks of the 20^th century.

This evening of music, theatre and a dramatic meeting of the two includes Beckett’s monologue of memory and loss Rockaby and the pair’s most extraordinary collaboration Words & Music, in which a small group of musicians playing a distinctively taut Feldman score becomes a character in the drama.

Directed by Vicky Featherstone (Artistic Director, Royal Court Theatre 2013-2023 and Founding Artistic Director, National Theatre of Scotland).
