Stumped

Before Samuel Beckett became the playwright universally known for Waiting for Godot, he was a cricketer. He is still the only Nobel prize-winner to feature in the pages of Wisden as a first-class player.

His friend and fellow Nobel prize-winner, Harold Pinter, whose best-known works include The Birthday Party and Betrayal, described cricket as ‘the greatest thing that God created on earth’.

Stumped is a brilliant absurdist comedy, which explores the friendship between these two great men and the strains imposed upon it by the most civilised of summer sports.

Mon-Sat at 1pm (doors open at 12.50pm)

Tickets: Low-price Mon/Tues €10, Wed/Thurs €12, Fri/Sat €15.
