Excerpts from

Happy Days

by Samuel Beckett

Performed by Dianne Wiest in Full Steam Ahead

Madison Square Park, October 2018.

In a sculptural costume designed by Arlene Shechet, two-time Academy Award Winner Dianne Wiest performed excerpts from Samuel Beckett’s Happy Days. Taking place within Shechet’s installation, Full Steam Ahead, the performance allowed passersby to come and go as it unfolded, to return for repeats over the course of the week, and to experience fragments of the text as they moved through the installation.
