This collection of Nobel Prize winner Samuel Beckett's dramatic
pieces includes a short stage play, two radio plays, and two
pantomimes. The stage play"Krapp's Last Tape"evolves a shattering
drama out of a monologue of a man who, at age sixty-nine, plays
back the autobiographical tape he recorded on his thirty-ninth
birthday.
The two radio plays were commissioned by the BBC;"All That
Fall""plumbs the same pessimistic depths [as"Waiting for Godot"] in
what seems a no less despairing search for human dignity"
(London"Times"), and"Embers"is equally unforgettable theater, born
of the ramblings of an old man and his wife. Finally, in the two
pantomimes, Beckett takes drama to the point of pure abstraction
with his portrayals of, in"Act Without Words I," frustrated
desired, and in"Act Without Words I," corresponding motions of
living juxtaposed in the slow despair of one man and the
senselessly busy motion of another.
