Shostakovich and Beckett night of theatre reviewed

The Age’s review of the play on for a few more days in the basement of the Abbotsford Convent (details here) is positive, though it sounds like a quick peek at Wikipedia’s entry on Samuel Beckett might be in order for those who have not recently completed BA lit majors, and I have a feeling the violin sonata which is fragmented through the production is not one of Shostakovich‘s more tuneful works. I could be wrong about that; I might be thinking of another one. The photo is of the chapel of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd which is used by the nuns who still live around the Convent. It is not open to the public.
