The Festival celebrates the centenary of Samuel Beckett's birth with a series of accessible events which promise an intimate insight into this prolific author's life and works.

Brighton audiences will be the first to see an exhibition of iconic photographs taken of Beckett in the pubs, cafes and streets of London and Paris.

Lifelong friends express the impact he has had on them, giving a rare glimpse into the private life of an author who was notoriously publicity shy.

Internationally-acclaimed theatre company Gare St Lazare Players perform some of Beckett's most fascinating works, showing him at his most creative, most absurd and most compassionate.

This mini-festival brings Beckett's works to life.
