11 June 2015. All that fall at the Barbican

Part of the Beckett season, this presentation of a radio play was held in the Pit. The play itself requires one's full attention - something not often given when listening to the radio at home. So it was something of a treat to sit in the Pit in rocking chairs and just listen – supported by an intricate light installation which changed in intensity until it reached its almost solar effect at the end. The story itself was set in Ireland and centred on the issue of meeting a train; and the train was late. What delayed it? The play can be found on YouTube – but without the Barbican setting and the enforced attention is afforded.
