Julianne Moore and Cynthia Nixon will join Ralph Fiennes, Barry McGovern, and Liam Neeson on July 26 and 27 at the Gerald W. Lynch Theater at John Jay College for hour-long poetry and prose readings by Samuel Beckett as part of this year’s Lincoln Center Festival. The five actors will read from a selection of extracts from Beckett’s novels and poetry, as well as his shorter prose and dramatic works.

Fiennes, McGovern, and Neeson are performing three Beckett pieces, First Love, I’ll Go On, and Eh, Joe under the umbrella title Gate/Beckett, which runs in individual performances through Friday, with marathon performances this weekend.
