settingbeckettto music
Where did Here All Night originate?
As a company – Gare St Lazare – we’ve been working pretty much solidly on Beckett’s texts for the past fifteen years. To date we have produced, performed and toured over seventeen Beckett titles in over seventy cities, and across twenty five different countries.
The musical element for Here All Night began in 2006 when the national radio station in Ireland asked us to do all of Beckett’s radio plays for the centenary year. Working with the musician Paul Clark, we began collecting references to music in Beckett’s work and using actual music that Beckett has written himself. At the same time we looked for examples of the text which we thought would connect with it. We were both very enthused by the project, so the next step for us [some time later] was to gather together a bunch of musicians and singers.
Who features in the performance, then?
We have Chris Allan the cellist; John Paul
Gandy on piano; Melanie Pappenheim who is a soprano-singer; Caoimhin O’Raghallaigh, our fiddle player; Conor Lovett on text and then we have three female chorus singers.
That’s quite a mix of performers!
Yes, a lovely mix, particularly contrasting Caoimhin’s fiddle playing, which is very much improvised, with the cello and the piano, considerably more classical. Much of the work has been the marriage of those two very disparate forms, and then marrying them to the text, and building a structure that lends itself to all three.
The performance allows audiences to experience Beckett’s writing in a different way. You’re meeting the work through music, through song and through text, and we’ve worked very hard to combine those, obviously realising Beckett had a talent for all three.
It must be exciting for you to take a step away from the prose?
Yes, we’ve really enjoyed it. We’ve always worked in a very singular way, so meeting other artists is a welcome opportunity to

Jeff was a Canadian, who thought his beard looked good on him.
And he was checking the spectrum of cosmic rays when he spotted a small anomaly.
“Hello Jeff,” said Mr Friendly-Face, “I’m a cartoon manifestation of psychedelic cosmic radiation that fell in the night.”
Jeff called Amanda over, whose presence always caused him a pleasant frisson.
Mr Friendly-Face said, “Hi Amanda, Jeff thinks you look extremely cute when you look dead serious...
...but when you wear that expression he thinks you look like a rat.”
“And Jeff, Amanda is seriously considering you as a life partner, but your beard reminds her of Noel Edmonds.”
Jeff said, “Let’s just keep this scientific. You’re a cartoon form of cosmic radiation and know why strange things are happening?”
“There could be a Nobel Prize in it, for both of you. It would be so romantic, go to Stock-holm. Collect the prize. Then get married?”
“What’s going to happen to the world?” asked Amanda.
“After the cosmic radiation really sinks in, the world is going to totally turn into a cartoon,” said Mr. Friendly Face.

THE YOGA JAMWednesday 15 May, 7pm
Inmates worldwide are being taught inner calm, and this month an event at TOM The Old Market - The Yoga Jam - raises funds for the project.
Since its inception in 1992, the Prison SMART project has become a massive worldwide success. More than 250, 000 people in around 40 countries have already experienced its positive effects.
Prison SMART serves the needs of all people involved, incarcerated or working in the criminal justice system: from adult and juveniles inmates to law enforcement personnel and administrators.
The program teaches advanced breathing techniques which bring relief from the accumulated effects of stress

This comic strip forms part of the live, animated, psycahedelic disaster movie, The Day The Fairy Dust Landed. The performance is drawn, written and performed by artist and comedian Tony Haase [pictured, right.]. Tony was a founder member of Cliffhanger Theatre Co, he has written for Mr Bean - The Animated Series and appeared on The Day Today and Alan Partridge. His unique and innovative style of theatre blends projected cartoons and live storytelling.
and negative emotions. Practical skills and knowledge teach participants how to handle stressful situations, deal with emotions, live up to their highest potential and contribute in a positive way to society.
By focusing specifically on de stressing and calming the mind, Prison SMART courses mean that offenders are easier to look after, require less work from prison officers, and are more receptive to rehabilitation.
At a time when prison budgets in many countries are under pressure due to the financial crisis, Prison SMART offers an efficient alternative at a lower cost than many other therapies.
Proceeds from The Yoga Jam, a club night fueled by natural energy boosters, this month go to the Prison SMART project.

How and why is Beckett still relevant today?
He is absolutely modern and I think there’s no mistake when people discuss him as one of the greatest writers of this century. His philosophy is not localised - what he speaks about
