Actor

Conor
Lovett

(he/him)

With over twenty Beckett roles to his credit, Conor is considered one of the foremost Beckett actors. In addition to over thirty years working with director Judy Hegarty Lovett, he was twice directed by German director Walter D. Asmus, who worked as Beckett’s assistant in Berlin in the 1970s. Conor trained with movement master Jacques Lecoq in Paris. He and Judy Hegarty Lovett founded Gare St Lazare Ireland in 1996 with their production of Beckett’s Molloy. The company’s subsequent staging of over twenty-five Beckett titles affirms it among the most prolific Beckett interpreters. Conor has also performed with Rubicon Theatre Company and Signature Theatre in the US and with Gate Theatre and Druid Theatre in Ireland. US playwright Will Eno wrote Title and Deed for Conor (directed by Judy Hegarty Lovett). Conor has been recognized for his work with awards in Edinburgh, Dublin, London, New York, Santa Barbara, and Shanghai. Film and TV credits include I’ll Find You, Marie Antoinette, Endeavour, Versailles, and Father Ted.
