This time the Gate's artistic director, Michael Colgan, presented three pieces from Beckett's writing for other media: TV, for Eh Joe (Neeson), the short story, for "First Love" (Fiennes) and the novel: Barry McGovern's tour-de-force I'll Go On, a distilling of the Beckett novels Molloy, Malone Dies and The Unnameable...
