Description
|
|
|
|
With a tree, a country road, and two tramps waiting haplessly for a Godot who never comes, Nobel Prize winner Samuel Beckett epitomized for theatergoers around the world the comical and terrifying condition of being human in an uncertain universe. He would follow the groundbreaking Waiting for Godot with startlingly innovative plays like the drama Endgame as well as Krapp's Last Tape and Happy Days. Christopher Murray edits this collection of essays from a dozen Beckett authorities, including John Banville, winner of the 2005 Man Booker Prize; distinguished literary critic Richard Kearney; Oxford lecturer in drama Rosemary Pountney; and actor Barry McGovern, who has toured worldwide in Godot and in the one-man Beckett show I'll Go On.
