Judy Hegarty Lovett on Interpreting Samuel Beckett

THE INTERVAL: Although best known for his work as a playwright, Samuel Beckett also wrote a number of novels throughout his life. Lincoln Center’s White Light Festival will be presenting theatrical adaptations of three of his novels—Molloy, Malone Dies, and The Unnamable—in The Beckett Trilogy by the company Gare St. Lazare Ireland November 3rd-5th. Gare St. Lazare Ireland was co-founded by Judy Hegarty Lovett who also directed and co-adapted this production. Judy has become known as one of the premiere interpreters of Beckett’s work. We recently spoke to her about adapting Beckett’s novels for the stage.
