“A voice comes to one in the dark. Imagine.”afterburner presents the return season of
Samuel Beckett’s classic novella Company, performed by Simon O’Connor
The text of Company has a kind of atomic energy. The language is precise and bare. The images pack a punch. This production takes its cue from that. Lean forward a little, let the ears do the work, light and sound and performance just enough to focus the words. This examination of one lying on his back in the dark is poignant, absurdly humorous, thoughtful and always resonant.
