Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
This volume gathers three short plays by Samuel Beckett, each written for the stage with a spare, precise economy. In Ohio Impromptu, two near-identical figures sit at a table, one reading aloud a story while the other listens, and the reading and its echoes unfold in a ritual of repetition. Catastrophe shows a director and his assistant arranging a single silent figure on a stage for a final presentation, a piece quietly dedicated to a persecuted playwright. What Where presents a group of figures under interrogation, in a tight, repeated exchange about what has been said and who knows what.
