One of the most challenging pieces of theatre for an actor is how Ger Fitzgibbon describes Samuel Beckett’s Not I, which he is directing for GaitKrash at the Crawford Art Gallery from May 8-10. The production is back by popular demand having been performed there two months ago. Fitzgibbon, retired head of drama and theatre studies at UCC, has been a Beckett fan ever since he was given a copy of Waiting for Godot when he was 16.
