'Beckett Shorts' Reschedules Opening Night for Dec.18

New York Theatre Workshop announces that the opening night for Beckett Shorts, an evening of four one-act plays written by Samuel Beckett and directed by JoAnne Akalaitis, will now be Tuesday, December 18.  (The date was changed because of the shifting opening night schedules due to the Broadway strike.)

Performances still begin tomorrow, Wednesday, December 5 at 8PM, at New York Theatre Workshop (79 East 4th Street, between Second Avenue and Bowery).

The cast of Beckett Shorts is Mikhail Baryshnikov, Bill Camp, Karen Kandel, and David Neumann.

Internationally renowned sculptor and architect Alexander Brodsky joins the creative team for Beckett Shorts in his first theatrical effort as set designer.  The creative team also includes costume design by Kaye Voyce; lighting design by Jennifer Tipton; sound design by Darron L. West; video design by Mirit Tal; original music by Philip Glass; and production stage management by Anthony Cerrato.
