Fat Beckett by Gab Cody, in collaboration with Rita Reis

"Deconstructed and reconstituted by two cheery female comics, the result is a continually renewing riff, comic improv on a Beckettian theme, but with the greater vaudevillian freedom of the Marx Brothers."

"What's fresh about the show is that instead of impoverished vagrants, Sophie...and Kiki...are the unmoored flotsam of affluent Western society. Though they inhabit a stage-bound limbo, they're well-traveled, frequent fliers and privy to an endless supply of the little cream-filled pastries known as profiteroles."

"Fat Beckett focuses just enough on what might be seen as a female point of view to offer us a welcome comic shift in perspective on its source text as well as on the seriously ridiculous questions it sets out not to answer."

"As they journey on foot and by plane, dragging their tree with them, they employ an abundance of satire, physical comedy and wordplay as well as a subtle, but omnipresent, female perspective."
