With respect to the formal rules set in stone by Samuel Beckett, accessibility was key to bringing this absurdist classic to life in an academic environment in the Deep South. The text suggest the playing space is nothing more than "A country road. A tree." Leaning into this direction, the "country road" in question was styled as the liminal thoroughfare of an abandoned Alabama State Fairground. The theater architecture was transformed into an immersive environment: sod & dirt on the floor, onstage seating in "abandoned" sofas and folding chairs. Actors eschewed the traditional North Irish dialects in favor of heightened versions of their Southern American drawl. Director Matthew Morgan's training as a graduate of Ringling Bros. Clown College (along with his devised work & fringe festival experience creating contemporary circus cabarets) brought a uniquely classic American comedic sensibility to the character work on stage.
