All That Fall: Eileen Atkins & Michael Gambon

Following its critically acclaimed, sell-out run in London's West End, Samuel Beckett's radio play All That Fall, directed by Tony and Olivier Award winner Trevor Nunn, and starring BAFTA and Emmy Award winner Eileen Atkins and four-time BAFTA Award winner Michael Gambon, will play at 59E59's Theatre A from 05 Nov - 08 Dec 2013.

First broadcast on the BBC in 1957, All That Fall is set in rural Ireland and 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.

Atkins and Gambon lead a cast of nine, which also includes Ruairi Conaghan, Catherine Cusack and Frank Grimes from the original London production, with further casting to be announced.

The creative team include set design by Cherry Truluck and sound design by Paul Groothuis.

The Off-Broadway production is produced by Richard Darbourne Limited, Jermyn Street Theatre in association with Gene David Kirk.

All That Fall played at the Jermyn Street Theatre, a small 70 seat Off West End venue in Piccadilly, central London, from 09 Oct to 03 Nov 2012, and then transferred to the larger West End Art's Theatre (350 seat) for 23 performances from 6 to 24 Nov 2012.
