Uncategorized Marathon of Samuel Beckett Films at Emory
Posted by Wyatt Williams @wyatt_williams on Wed, Mar 18, 2009 at 1:15 PM
Still waiting to understand Godot? The Letters of Samuel Beckett, the first volume of which was released last month, promises to shed a little light on the work of that famously tight-lipped, Nobel prize-winning author. Emory's putting together a gaggle of events to celebrate his edited correspondence, including a seriously long marathon of his plays on film. If you've had chance to check out the book or saw Ed Albee and Salman Rushdie read aloud from it, then you might be ready to check out this six-hour program on Wed., March 19. I'd bring a snack.
Here's a clip from a performance of Not I, to give you a hint of what you're in for. Complete details after the jump.
