This new edition brings together all of Beckett's dramatic writings
for radio, television and film, offering works which range from
eloquent comic naturalism to an eviscerated and pared-down
symbolism. Above all, Beckett found his unique uses for the
radio-play, a medium 'for voices not bodies', compacted of speech,
sound and silence - and the plays in this volume intently explore
the resources and limits of the sound-stage. My father, back from
the dead, to be with me. (Pause.) As if he hadn't died. (Pause.)
No, simply back from the dead, to be with me, in this strange
place. (Pause.) Can he hear me? (Pause.) Yes, he must hear me.
(Pause.) To answer me? (Pause.) No, he doesn't answer me. (Pause.)
Just be with me. (Pause.) That sound you hear is the sea. (Pause.
Louder.) I say that sound you hear is the sea, we are sitting on
the strand. (Pause.) I mention it because the sound is so strange,
so unlike the sound of the sea, that if you didn't see what it was
you wouldn't know what it was. (Pause.). Hooves! Contents: All That
