All That Fall and Other Plays for Radio and Screen: Samuel Beckett

Synopsis:

This edition brings together all of Samuel Beckett’s dramatic writings for radio, television and film, offering works which range from a lavish comic naturalism to an eviscerated minimalism. Above all, Beckett found unique uses for the radio-play, a medium ‘for voices not bodies’, compacted of speech, sound and silence, and the plays in this volume explore and test the resources of the sound-stage, as well as the visual conventions of the screen-play.
