‘Begin the Beguine’ is the last text that the legendary film-maker John Cassavetes wrote before his death, for Peter Falk and Ben Gazzara. This dark, beautiful allegory about life and death, named after Cole Porter’s famous song, never made it beyond the preparatory phase.
The text was never performed. A few years ago, the German publisher S. Fischer Verlag asked Jan Lauwers to stage this work more than 25 years later.
