Industry Reviews
"The theatrical notebooks for the shorter plays, all of which were created in the period of Beckett's active career as a director, reveal not the rigidity of an autocrat but the fluidity and flexibility of a true man of the theater at home with the inescapable contingency of an art form in which circumstances always alter cases. Far from offering to posterity an authoritative blueprint for the staging of these works, they show, in an appropriately Beckettian gesture, that finality is a cruel illusion because the Godot of a truly achieved text never arrives. Beckett's revisions are not a mere matter of fine details or of a process of trial and error leading eventually to an ultimate, finished product."
