Book Synopsis Samuel Beckett's Krapp's Last Tape by : Daniel Sack
Download or read book Samuel Beckett's Krapp's Last Tape written by Daniel Sack and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We lay there without moving. But under us all moved, and moved us." - Krapp Samuel Beckett’s most accessible play is also one of the twentieth century’s most moving dramas about aging, memory, and disappointment. Daniel Sack offers the first comprehensive survey of Krapp’s Last Tape (1958) with a general reader in mind. Structured around a series of questions, five approachable sections contextualize the play in the larger career of its Nobel-Prize-winning writer, explore its major thematic concerns, and offer comparative analyses with Beckett’s other signal works. Sack also uses discussions of significant productions, including those directed by the playwright himself, to ground interpretation of the play in terms of its performance and provide a useful resource to directors and actors. Both a critical and personal exploration of this haunting play, this volume is a must-read for anyone with an interest in Beckett’s work.

Download or read book Krapp's Last Tape and Other Shorter Plays written by Samuel Beckett and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2012-10-04 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Krapp's Last Tape was first performed by Patrick Magee at the Royal Court Theatre in October 1958, and described as 'a solo, if that is the word, for one voice and two organs: one human, one mechanical. It fills few pages. It is perhaps the most original and important play of its length ever written.' (Roy Walker) The present volume brings together Krapp's Last Tape and Beckett's other shorter works or 'dramaticules' written for the stage. It will be complemented by a forthcoming Faber edition of dramatic works written for radio and screen. Arranged in chronological order of composition, these shorter plays exhibit the laconic means and compassionate ends of Beckett's dramatic vision. KRAPP 'Here I end this reel. Box - [ Pause.] - three, spool - [ Pause.] - five. [ Pause.] Perhaps my best years have gone. When there was a chance of happiness. But I wouldn't want them back. Not with the fire in me now. No, I wouldn't want them back. [ Staring motionless before him.]

Book Synopsis Still: Samuel Beckett's Quietism by : Wimbush Andy
Download or read book Still: Samuel Beckett's Quietism written by Wimbush Andy and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-06-18 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1930s, a young Samuel Beckett confessed to a friend that he had been living his life according to an ‘abject self-referring quietism’. Andy Wimbush argues that ‘quietism’—a philosophical and religious attitude of renunciation and will-lessness—is a key to understanding Beckett’s artistic vision and the development of his career as a fiction writer from his early novels Dream of Fair to Middling Women and Murphy to late short prose texts such as Stirrings Still and Company. Using Beckett’s published and archival material, Still: Samuel Beckett’s Quietism shows how Beckett distilled an understanding of quietism from the work of Arthur Schopenhauer, E.M. Cioran, Thomas à Kempis, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and André Gide, before turning it into an aesthetic that would liberate him from the powerful literary traditions of nineteenth-century realism and early twentieth-century high modernism. Quietism, argues Andy Wimbush, was for Beckett a lifelong preoccupation that shaped his perspectives on art, relationships, ethics, and even notions of salvation. But most of all it showed Beckett a way to renounce authorial power and write from a position of impotence, ignorance, and incoherence so as to produce a new kind of fiction that had, in Molloy’s words, the ‘tranquility of decomposition’.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Plays of Samuel Beckett Eugene Webb first summarizes the western philosophical tradition which has culminated in the void--the centuries of attempts to impose form and meaning on existence, the failure of which has left experience in fragments and man a stranger in an unintelligible universe. Succeeding chapters take up the plays work by work, interpreting each individually and tracing recurrent motifs, themes, and images to show the continuity in the underlying tendencies of Beckett's mind and art.

Download or read book Atom Egoyan written by and published by Black Dog Press. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Atom Egoyan is one of the most successful independent filmmakers to emerge from Canada. In addition to his award-winning films he has also directed for both opera and the stage, and created compelling lens-based installation art. Commissioned by Artangel, 'Steenbeckett' saw Egoyan transform a space in the former Museum of Man in London using excerpts of 35mm footage, and it remains his most important installation to date. 'Steenbeckett' is the first publication to explore this impressive work. 'Steenbeckett' included footage from Egoyan?s film version of Samuel Beckett?s 'Krapp?s' Last Tape, which he had made for the project Beckett on Film, 2001. The film involves a haunted ageing man reviewing and reflecting upon self-made tape recordings he made earlier in life, and is played on DVD in one room, whilst another room includes a jumbled collection of old furniture, cabinets and film equipment nostalgically evoking the history of film. The installation contemplates the nature of memory, and explores Egoyan?s fascination with the obsolescence of technology, the divide of analogue/digital and changing contexts of presentation. 00Exhibition: MacKenzie Art Gallery, Regina, Canada (05.11.2016-02.01.2017).
