Synopsis

A play without words. 'Quad' has a musical structure. It is a kind of canon or catch - a mysterious square-dance. Four hooded figures move along the sides of the square. Each has his own particular itinerary. A pattern emerges and collisions are just avoided. From these permutations, Beckett, as writer and director, creates an image of life that is both highly charged and strangely funny.
