This acclaimed production, which premiered at the Paris Beckett Festival in 2016, features the first ever back-to-back performances of Beckett’s Not I and its French-language version, Pas Moi. Award-winning Irish actress Clara Simpson (whose father produced Beckett plays for Irish radio) is the only person ever to have performed both versions together, switching effortlessly from English to French.

Devenish Island Triptych SOLD OUT for the entire festival!
Remember to book early to avoid disappointment folks!

Schubert’s Winterreise – Beckett’s favourite piece of music – has been at the heart of the Happy Days programme since its inception. This great song cycle was originally intended for a male singer but this year, for the first time at Happy Days, we’re thrilled to welcome internationally acclaimed mezzo soprano, Christianne Stotijn, accompanied by Julius Drake.

"Nothing stirring anywhere. Nothing to be seen anywhere. Nothing to be heard anywhere." is a perfect description of the Marble Arch Caves after dark but this weekend the Caves will be full of life and energy as actor Ciaran McCauley brings Beckett's 'A Piece of Monologue' below the earth in this unique and exclusive setting. Not to be missed.
