Pan Pan Theatre: Cascando

Samuel Beckett (1906-1989) was an Irish author, critic, and playwright. He wrote in both French and English and is perhaps best known for his plays, especially Waiting for Godot. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969.

Pan Pan was founded in 1993 by Co-Artistic Directors Aedín Cosgrove and Gavin Quinn. The company has created 43 new theatre and performance pieces and toured worldwide, receiving multiple national and international awards. Since its inception, Pan Pan has constantly examined and challenged the nature of its work and has resisted settling into well-tried formulas. Developing new performance ideas is at the centre of the company’s mission. All the works created are original, either through the writing (original plays) or through the totally unique expression of established writings. Pan Pan approaches theatre as an open form of expression and has developed an individual aesthetic that has grown from making performances in a host of different situations and conditions.
