Recenzje

In Samuel Beckett and the Theatre of the Witness, Hannah Simpson orients our attention to the multiplicities of pain found in and disappeared from the postwar theatrical productions of Samuel Beckett. She demonstrates how the central themes of Beckett's oeuvre - corporeal (dis)functioning, the impotence of language, the (im)possibility for intersubjective understanding - are illuminated through the manner in which Beckett writes and stages pain.
