For more than 50 years no one has been allowed to stage this entertaining and deeply affecting Irish play. At last the ban has been lifted and audiences in London and New York have been treated to the double delight of seeing a radio play produced on the stage. Blackbird Theatre, whose Waiting for Godot was a held over hit at The Cultch, and whose Uncle Vanya played to packed houses last year, has been granted the rights to present this first Canadian production of All That Fall.

All That Fall is a 75-minute radio play written by Samuel Beckett in 1956 for the BBC. After its broadcast in 1957 several prominent theatre producers, including Laurence Olivier, tried to obtain the rights to produce it as a stage play, but Beckett refused all requests. Finally in 2012, Trevor Nunn, English theatre, film, and television director succeeded in persuading the Beckett estate to allow theatrical staging of the script as a radio play and All That Fall played in London (2012) and New York (2013) to rave reviews.
