How It Is is the world premiere stage adaptation of Samuel Beckett's last full-length novel, directed by Judy Hegarty Lovett with design collaboration by artist Michael Craig Martin. The production features celebrated actors Stephen Dillane and Conor Lovett, with sound design and composition by Mel Mercier and lighting design by Simon Bennison. Beckett's three-part novel, first published in 1961, follows a lone figure in a landscape of mud and darkness who journeys while repeating the words of a voice heard inside and outside his own head. Craig Martin created a site-specific design for the historic 18th century Venetian palazzo, now one of Venice's leading contemporary art centres.
