Title and Deed: Conor Lovett to star

Conor Lovett will star in Will Eno's solo show Title and Deed, directed by Judy Hegarty Lovett, opening at Signature Center's Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre on 20 May 2012, following previews from 8 May 2012, and closing on 3 Jun 2012.

Title and Deed: A nameless traveler from a far off place searches for connection and solace in an unknown country in this meditation on mortality, loneliness, innocence, home, family, love, funerals, words, and the world.

Pulitzer Prize finalist and Horton Foote Prize winner Will Eno, whom The New York Times called "a Samuel Beckett for the Jon Stewart generation," wrote Title and Deed specifically for Conor Lovett, who is a fan of Eno's work in return: "Will has a truly unique poetic voice which, for all its apparent lack of ornamentation, succeeds in creating a sublimely mesmeric world all his own."

Title and Deed is being presented Off-Broadway by the Signature Theatre Company in association with the Gare St Lazare Players Ireland.

Conor Lovett, who trained in Paris at the Ecole Jacques Lecoq, has become known as one of the world's best living Beckett performers. Judy Hegarty Lovett has directed him in eleven solo shows for the Gare St Lazare Players Ireland theatre company.
