Conor Lovett in Samuel Beckett’s First Love

A perfect blend of comedy and tragedy, First Love contains much of Beckett’s distinctive dark humor and a plot that is regarded as a masterpiece of the author’s perversity. A young man, expelled from home upon the death of his father, takes refuge on a bench by a canal. There he meets a woman who takes him home with comically disastrous consequences. Lovett’s one-man interpretation of First Love has mesmerized audiences around the world and earned him international acclaim.
