VIDEO: Dianne Wiest Totally Rocks Beckett in Madison Square Park!

You might find a larger-than-usual rock in Madison Square park this week...

In a sculptural costume designed by artist Arlene Shechet, two-time Academy Award Winner Dianne Wiest has been performing pieces from Samuel Beckett's Happy Days this week (through October 26). The action of the play takes place within and around Madison Square Park's reflecting pool, which has been emptied by Shechet for her new, site-specific installation Full Steam Ahead.

Within this unexpected landscape of human-scaled sculptures of wood, ceramic, and cast iron, Wiest is giving free daily performances at noon, allowing passersby to come and go as the performance unfolds, return for repeats over the course of the week, and experience fragments as they move throughout the installation.
