work – promoting a theatre piece: Krapp’s Last Tape

"Beckett's dramatic works do not rely on the traditional elements of drama. He trades in plot, characterization, and final solution, which had hitherto been the hallmarks of drama, for a series of concrete stage images. Language is useless, for he creates a mythical universe peopled by lonely creatures who struggle vainly to express the unexpressable. His characters exist in a terrible dreamlike vacuum, overcome by an overwhelming sense of bewilderment and grief, grotesquely attempting some form of communication, then crawling on, endlessly."

Man, that’s bleak. Are you sure that any kind of marketing effort won’t just add ‘an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness’ ? Ok then. Let’s go with 5000 A6 flyers. Three days isn’t very long to come up with some suitably bleak creative & artwork, but here you go.
