Beckett in Dublin by S. E. Wilmer (Editor)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 9 MB
Overview: Ireland, and in particular Dublin, was Samuel Beckett’s cradle, a place, in Eoin O’Brien’s words, he revisited ‘with the same intensity that Proust went back to Combray’. It was fitting, then, shortly after Beckett’s death, that his birthplace – through the good offices of the Gate Theatre, Trinity College and Radio TelefÃs Éireann – should have decided to honour the 1969 Nobel prizewinner by staging all of his dramatic productions over three weeks during October 1991 and hosting a series of visual displays, lectures, seminars and discussions by local and international scholars, friends and colleagues, of which Beckett in Dublin is the fruit. Part One, ‘A Man of Theatre’, concerns Beckett’s stagecraft, with learned essays by his English editor James Knowlson and American collaborator S.E. Gontarski, and a lively reminiscence by French actor Jean Martin, who played Lucky in the original production of En attendant Godot in 1953
