Ο Μπέκετ έγινε ευρύτερα γνωστός το 1953 με την παράσταση του πρώτου του θεατρικού έργου, του "Περιμένοντας τον Γκοντό". Ακολούθησαν: "Τέλος του παιχνιδιού", 1957, "Η τελευταία μαγνητοταινία του Κραπ", "Οι ευτυχισμένες μέρες" -που πρωτοπαρουσιάστηκε στη Νέα Υόρκη το 1961- και πολλά άλλα σύντομα έργα.
