Shorts - 3 Legends, 3 Plays - Beckett, Berkoff, Pinter

'The Black and White' by Harold Pinter is directed by Megan Peacock. 'A Piece of Monologue' by Samual Beckett and 'Actor' by Steven Berkoff are directed by Sally Richards and featuring Ken Keys and Sam Snedden (Auckland). Sally and Megan both hold Masters in Theatre Arts in directing from Toi Whakaari NZ Drama School and Victoria University and are thrilled to be working together again to produce Shorts in Hawke's Bay.

'The Black and White’ by Harold Pinter – They meet near dawn at a milk bar, they eat their soup, they talk about it with questions and answers, they discuss the man who asks the time and they watch the two-nine-four go by. "One way of looking at speech is to say that it is a constant stratagem to cover nakedness." Harold Pinter

'Birth was the Death of Him' - A Piece Of Monologue by Samuel Beckett is a play about birth, death and dereliction.

‘Actor’ by Steven Berkoff - A portrait of an out of work and increasingly desperate Hamlet who walks an imaginary treadmill, dreaming of playing Hamlet and getting nowhere fast. Steven Berkoff is a great observer of the human condition. Accurate in his portrayal and unflinching in his honesty, he writes darkly humorous pieces that often revel how we think of ourselves. Gritty, British, caustic and charming.
