ENIGMATIC, intriguing and unendingly entertaining - Samuel Beckett's plays such as Waiting for Godot and Endgame have attracted audiences for 60 years.
Guildford's Mill Studio offers the chance to see a trio of his lesser-known, but equally startling, works in Three by Beckett (pictured) from August 26 to August 28.
Ohio Impromptu features two identical figures, one finding comfort from a book and the other finding comfort from the first.
A long-lost memory of love mingles with time, history and acceptance in a piece written in 1980.
Rough for theatre 1 features a blind man and a physically- disabled man who meet and consider the possibility of joining forces to survive.
Similar to Endgame, the play was written in the late 1950s and was ignored for many years.
Rough for Theatre 2 is closer to conventional theatre and features an examination of a man's life by two officials.
The man in question is perched on a window ledge throughout, waiting for their verdict.
A spokesman for The Godot Company, which is staging the plays, said: "All of Beckett's plays have a poetic density that show the tragedies of life, the comic moments that relieve that tragedy, and the oddities of human behaviour, in a startling new way - both visually memorable and dramatically poignant."
The Godot Company was formed early in 2003 to perform the stage works of Beckett and to make his poetry and prose better known.
One of the founding members is John Calder, whose company has also published works from Burroughs, Miller and Mailer.
