Conclusion: 3/5
Directed by the great James March who directed The Theory of Everything (2014). Fantastic cast including the likes of Gabriel Byrne and Aidan Gillen. I found this to be a really interesting story which I knew nothing about. I thought it was very well written and directed. I do think it would have been good to hear some of Beckett’s work. This was very much like a stage play.
