Pamela Rabe on Beckett’s Happy Days

I’m joined by one of Australia’s most celebrated actors—Pamela Rabe. With a career spanning decades, Pamela has earned acclaim across stage and screen, and is also a respected stage director. Her versatility shines through in a wide range of genres—from musicals and comedies to powerful dramas.

You may have seen her in unforgettable productions such as:

• August: Osage County
• Seventeen
• The Cherry Orchard
• Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
• The Dance of Death
• My Fair Lady
• The Glass Menagerie
  ...and so many more.

She’s tackled the works of Shakespeare, Molière, Chekhov, Brecht, Noël Coward, Patrick White, and David Mamet—just to name a few.

Today, Pamela joins me to talk about her latest role as Winnie in Samuel Beckett’s Happy Days, now playing at the Sydney Theatre Company. It’s a demanding and iconic role, and we’ll dive into what it means to bring Beckett’s vision to life on stage.
