Beckett Trilogy

Irish phenom Lisa Dwan stars in this trio of solo works. In the first, Dwan recites a 15-minute stream-of-consciousness monologue. In the second, she plays a daughter pacing outside her dying mother’s room. And in the third, she’s an elderly woman contemplating the past as she retreats from the world. $24–$69. Berkeley Street Theatre, 26 Berkeley St., canadianstage.com.
