It was written in English in January 1965 and first performed (in German) at the Schillertheater, Berlin on 14 January 1966. Its English language premiere was at the Peacock Theatre, Dublin on 28 February 1968, and its British premiere was at the Royal Festival Hall in London on 9 December 1968. It was written for and dedicated to the publisher John Calder. Some critics consider this one of Beckett's most "perfect" plays: Beckett agonized over each individual line until they exactly matched his creative vision. The play varies between "121 and 127 words"Knowlson, J. and Pilling, J., ''Frescoes of the Skull'' (London: John Calder, 1979), p 121 in length, depending on the translation (his notes are significantly longer than the actual play), and as such is rarely performed on its own. Synopsis The play starts with three similar figures of "indeterminable" age, Flo, Vi, and Ru, s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
