Beckett: Waiting for Godot

Plays in Production

by David Bradby

David Bradby's study explores the impact of Waiting for Godot and its influence on acting, directing, design, and the role of theater in society. After discussing the first productions in France, Britain and America, he examines subsequent productions in Africa, Eastern Europe, Israel, America, China and Japan. The book assesses interpretations by Bert Lahr and Ben Kingsley, as well as such directors as Roger Blin, Susan Sontag, Sir Peter Hall, and Beckett himself. It also contains an extensive production chronology, bibliography and illustrations from major productions.

Ova knjiga se doslovno bavi prvenstveno izvedbama ove drame od prve izvedbe, preko Beckettovog režiranja, da na kraju dođe do izvedbe u Japanu. Osobno nisam imala puno koristi od ovoga, ali nekome drugome baš ovo može biti presudan dio u istraživanju.
