After the sell-out success of the 1999 Beckett Festival, the Gate Theatre, Dublin and the Barbican have joined forces once again. See below for reviews of the last Beckett Centenary Festival.

‘The Beckett Festival at the Barbican is the brightest thing on the London stage.’ The Scotsman 1999

‘Compelling and meticulous…unforgettable.’
The Independent 1999

'The Beckett Festival has been a triumph on many fronts. It has in fact spilled out beyond the Barbican. An enthralling season.’
Financial Times 1999

‘Season of dazzling delights. A triumph.’
The Guardian 1999

‘The Beckett Festival was a revelation. Again and again, the strength and depth of the artists proved exceptional. This was a season in which every performance led one deeper into Beckett.’
Financial Times 1999

‘This is surely the greatest one-person show that London has seen…and Hurt is certainly a great actor.’
Financial Times on Krapp's Last Tape, 2000
