Description
First published in 1978, Beckett examines the plays of Beckett in the order in which they were written. The book affords a lively and fresh introduction to Beckett's theatre. Both authors stress that 'Beckett was waiting for the theatre as the theatre was waiting for Beckett.' The differing backgrounds of the two authors of this study have enabled them to approach Beckett's drama in a particularly fruitful way. This book will be of interest to students of literature and drama.
