All That Fall

samuel Beckett’s All That FallT charts the journey of old and unwieldy Mrs Rooney (Eileen Atkins) as she drags herself towards a railway station on a Saturday lunchtime to meet her blind husband (Michael Gambon) on his way back from the office to guide him home.

Along the way she passes the time of day with a man with a dung cart and a man with a bicycle. A third man with a motor-car offers her a lift and a church-struck spinster helps her up the station steps.
