This week on "Voices of Taos," Tempo editor Lynne Robinson talks to monologist Steve Rose and director Cynthia Straus about Rose's performance of "A Piece of Monologue: A Samuel Beckett Experience"

An adaptation of Beckett's "A Piece of Monologue," the one-man show is a telling of a 90-year-old man on his final walk, returning to the seaside Irish village where he grew up. Along the way, the man reflects on his life, recalling the adventures he’s had and characters he’s met.

Rose and Straus also discuss her direction of the piece, as well as the process of developing it for the stage.“Beckett has a wonderful saying and I felt this the first time I tried to do a Beckett monologue — it’s ‘Fail again, fail better,’” says Rose. “Once the curtains are drawn, once the piece starts, there’s an energy there that’s alive and dangerous.”
