Irish actors Gabriel Byrne and Aidan Gillen have joined the cast of the upcoming Samuel Beckett biopic, DANCE FIRST. Titled after Beckett’s famous adage “Dance first, think later,” the film is a sweeping account of the Nobel Prize-winning playwright’s life. The film is a playful and often poignant exploration of the life of the literature icon, delving deep into the key relationships in Beckett’s life — mainly the two women he was close to. The film is expected to begin shooting in Budapest on May 30.
