Samuel Beckett’s Happy Days is the one where the lady is partially buried in a pile of dirt the whole time onstage. It’s boundlessly strange and great, and tonight at Solo, New Century Theatre Company treats us all to a free reading featuring the incredible Amy Thone (a certified Stranger Genius), during which we can get good and drunk, just like old Sam would’ve wanted. Will there be dirt?! (This reading’s part of Seattle Beckett Festival, and hell yes for that; it goes through November, see seattlebeckettfest.org.)
