Opis

In this personal account of Samuel Beckett's theatre, Katharine Worth draws on a wealth of remarkable material, such as her own work producing and directing Beckett's plays, the experience of watching other productions, and conversations and correspondence with Beckett. This book focuses on the power that Beckett's theatre has to fascinate the viewer with the ordinary experiences of life as well as its great mysteries.

Recenzje

Impressive ... if there can be such a thing as a page-turner in dramatic criticism devoted to the work of a single author, Samuel Beckett's Theatre: Life Journeys surely comes close to the mark ... it would be hard to meet her match for finding the small and significant detail that opens up a play to wide dramatic resonance ... This is Beckett criticism at its best, and it is Beckett criticism that will last.
