Theatre review: All That Fall, Abbey Theatre, Dublin

First staged in Dublin in 2011, Pan Pan Theatre’s re-conceptualising of Samuel Beckett’s 1956 radio play has since toured to acclaim all over the world.

The Abbey’s decision to revive the show on the national stage, then, is a welcome acknowledgement of one of the country’s finest theatre companies. Pan Pan have long been at the vanguard of experimental practice here in Ireland. All the same, while it boasts an undeniable charm, All That Fall remains a frustrating piece.
