Looking for freedom, Victor Krap turns his back on his family, fiancée, and friends and moves into a room furnished with nothing but a bed. His parents and fiancée, Miss Skunk, try desperately to bring him back into the family fold and society. Written in French, ·¡±ô±ð³Ü³Ù³óé°ù¾±²¹ (which means “freedom” in Greek) is Beckett’s first completed work and was written just prior to his best-known piece Waiting for Godot. ·¡±ô±ð³Ü³Ù³óé°ù¾±²¹ is filled with irony and humor, allowing us to laugh at ourselves while examining the inescapable problems of our human existence.

Berlovitz said she wanted to produce ·¡±ô±ð³Ü³Ù³óé°ù¾±²¹ from her first reading of the play. In her director’s note, Berlovitz writes, “I hope that the audience will find the lay as funny and thought provoking as I did on that first reading.”

The play opens Friday, Jan. 30 and runs through Feb. 8. To make a reservation, call 612-330-1257. Admission will be free with the donation of a non-perishable food item or a cash donation. All food donations will be sent to the Brian Coyle Food Shelf and all cash donations will be sent to the Campus Kitchen program at Augsburg.
