Watt

Synopsis:
This is part of the Under the Radar Festival. Straight from Ireland's Gate Theatre is a new work by leading Beckett interpreter Barry McGovern, directed by one of Ireland's rising directors, Tom Creed. Watt is the story of an itinerant character who walks one day from a train station to the home of a Mr. Knott whom he will serve. The bizarre adventures of Watt and his struggle to make sense of the world around him is told with verbal elegance, immense pathos, and fierce humor.
