Beckett x3

31-December-2009

I love this photograph. It was taken during a sound check before a dress rehearsal of Beckett x3, produced by the Queensland Theatre Co. (Education troupe). It’s a short, intense play and the demands of the role seem etched into Georgina Symes face. Amongst other things, a Samuel Beckett play is like a self-absorbed life stripped of all its veneer. The image, for me captures the isolation of being caught in one’s headspace. Life doesn’t have to be that way, but Beckett saw that as often as not, it is.
