The Beckett Trilogy comprises Molloy, Malone Dies and The Unnamable. The three novels, written in French shortly after World War II, are seen by many as Beckett’s literary masterpiece and his view of society, and the world, is as funny as it is true. Directed by Judy Hegarty and performed by Conor Lovett, Gare St Lazare's tour de force production captures the essence of the novels and has received international acclaim on previous performances.

Molloy is one of Beckett’s most poignant and arresting characters - a crippled tramp recounts an effort to visit his aged mother and his apprehension by the police. In Malone Dies, the narrator Malone is about to die and decides to tell himself stories as he bides his time, and finally hits on a character, McMann, whose strange story results in a bloodbath. In The Unnamable, the nameless narrator has dispensed with story altogether and instead is trying to make sense of his existence, if it is his.
