Beckett Bucket is now live...

Beckett Bucket is now live at the rather splendid Ulster Museum in Belfast. Despite being menaced by prehistoric beasts our plucky lads have gathered an astounding range of insightful and poetic musings from the general public ... and also directed quite a lot of people to the restrooms


A PDF version of the first act of the completed version of the Beckett Bucket Book will be available via the website and the blog from Mid July. 

... that's right it's a tree.

Our completed display for the Ulster Museum.... All we need now are people to share with us their memories or thoughts on the life and work of Beckett and we will be sorted. Early start from our brave boys from Floating World tomorrow morning....

Can you see what it is yet?
