The award-winning Neo-Futurists/Theater Oobleck co-production "The Complete Lost Works of Samuel Beckett As Found In An Envelope (partially burned) In A Dustbin In Paris Labeled "Never to be performed. Never. Ever. EVER! Or I'll Sue! I'LL SUE FROM THE GRAVE!!!" is coming!!

CRITICS CHOICE - THE INDEPENDENT
PICK OF THE WEEK - THE GUARDIAN

Don't miss these seven (or six) near-genius works from the pen of Samuel Beckett himself (supposedly) performed by some of Atlanta's best and brightest. From Beckett's earliest play ("Happy Happy Bunny Visits Sad Sad Owl" performed in its original puppet staging) to his last piece (apparently written posthumously), don't miss this rare regional premiere production after the show's world premiere in Chicago in 2000, its recent translation into German and its triumphant return to the 10th Annual NY Fringe Festival this year.

Come celebrate the Winter Holidays the only way Mr. Samuel Beckett would have wanted them celebrated: his way!

This show will be in Atlanta for two weeks only!!
