Notes: | Breath is a notably short stage work by Samuel Beckett. An altered version was first included in Kenneth Tynan's revue Oh! Calcutta!, at the Eden Theatre in New York City on June 16, 1969. The UK premiere was at the Close Theatre Club in Glasgow in October 1969; this was the first performance of the text as written. The second performance, and the English premiere, was at a benefit held at the Oxford Playhouse on March 8, 1970. The first accurate publication appeared in Gambit 4.16 (1969): 59, with a manuscript facsimile. | |||||
Synopsis: | It consists of the sound of an instant of recorded vagitus (a birth-cry), followed by an amplified recording of somebody slowly inhaling and exhaling accompanied by an increase and decrease in the intensity of the light. There is then a second identical cry, and the piece ends. No people are seen on stage, but Beckett states that it should be "littered with miscellaneous rubbish." He did specify however that there were to be no verticals , the rubbish was to be all scattered and lying. | |||||

Synopsis: | First Love is one of Samuel Beckett's earliest post-war novellas and contains much of the author's special brand of black humour and uncomfortable truths. The narrator, expelled on the death of his father from his room, takes refuge on a bench by a canal and meets a woman who takes him home. The events that follow are hilariously terrible | |||||

Synopsis: | While Gogo and Didi are only psychologically unable to leave the appointed rendezvous site and while Hamm is confined to his wheelchair in a closed room, Winnie is actually buried to the waist in earth that seems to be drawing her downward. Elaborately constructed routines occupy her time and her mind and make it possible for her to endure the hopelessness of her situation. In the second act Winnie is buried to her neck and must rely solely on the resources of her mind. The situation grotesquely echoes Descartes' famous "Cogito ergo sum" ("I think, therefore I am"). In Act I, Winnie is buried to the waist in earth; a scorching sun beats down. A bell summons Winnie to her day's activities, which begin with a prayer. As a defence against the infinitude of time, she has devised a series of routines: making an inventory of her possessions, doing her toilette, recalling the past, inventing stories, trying to remember snatches of poetry, and conversing with the generally unresponsive Willie, who dwells in a nearby hole just within her range of vision. Successful efforts of memory or an occasional word extracted from Willie convince her that it has been a happy day after all. The climax of this particular day comes when the sight of an ant stimulates Willie to a pun on "formication," making the couple laugh. In Act II, Winnie is embedded up to her neck, and her all-important physical routines are now impossible. Her memory seems to have deteriorated, but she perseveres in fabricating stories and prattles on to the now-absent Willie. Because Winnie can no longer turn her head to see him, she may be unaware that he is gone, but soon he reappears dressed in morning clothes and crawling toward her. Winnie joyfully begins humming the "Merry Widow" waltz, but whether Willie means to kiss her or is merely groping for the revolver that lies on the nearby ground remains undisclosed as the curtain falls. | |||||

Notes: | Conceived by Kenneth Tynan; Contributions by Samuel Beckett, Jules Feiffer, Dan Greenburg, John Lennon, Jacques Levy, Leonard Melfi, David Newman, Robert Benton, Sam Shepard, Clovis Trouille, Kenneth Tynan and Sherman Yellen; Music and Lyrics, The Open Window: Robert Dennis, Peter Schickele and Stanley Walden; Musical Director: Norman Bergen | |||||
Synopsis: | Oh! Calcutta! was a long-running avant-garde theatrical revue, created by British drama critic Kenneth Tynan. The show, consisting of various sketches on sex-related topics, debuted in Off-Broadway in 1969. It proved, once again, that sex sells, running in London for over 2,400 performances, and in New York for over 1,600. The show sparked considerable controversy at the time, because it featured extended scenes of total nudity, both male and female. The title is taken from a painting by Clovis Trouille, itself a pun on "O quel cul t'as!", French for "What an ass you have!". Tynan had hoped that Harold Pinter would direct the production, in order to give it avant-garde legitimacy, but Pinter declined. (The original director was Jacques Levy, remembered by most now as the songwriting partner of Bob Dylan on his album Desire.) Most of the sketches (written, amongst others, by Nobel prize winner Samuel Beckett, John Lennon, Sam Shepard, Edna O'Brien, Jules Feiffer, and Tynan himself) featured the cast naked (including Bill Macy). Peter Schickele (aka 'PDQ Bach'), Robert Dennis and Stanley Walden were the revue's composers, known as The Open Window. A pay-per-view video production played on closed-circuit TV in select cities in 1971, and in 1972 a motion picture version was also released - in both cases many cities and municipalities banned its showing. A 1976 Broadway revival at the Edison Theatre ran for thirteen years, briefly becoming the longest-running play in Broadway history, with a total of 5,959 performances. | |||||

Notes: | En Attendant Godot (Babylone, Paris, 05 Jan 1953) | |||||
Synopsis: | The NY World-Telegram describes: "GODOT cannot be compared to any other theater work, because its purpose is so different. Two dilapidated bums fill their days as painlessly as they can. They wait for Godot, a personage who will explain their interminable insignificance, or put an end to it. They are resourceful, with quarrels and their dependence on each other, as children are. They pass the time 'which would have passed anyway.' A brutal man of means comes by, leading a weakling slave who does his bidding like a mechanical doll. Later on he comes back, blind, and his slave is mute, but the relationship is unchanged. Every day a child comes from the unknown Godot, and evasively puts the big arrival off until tomorrow. . .It is a tragic view. Yet, in performance, most of it is brilliant, bitter comedy. . .It is a portrait of the dogged resilience of a man's spirit in the face of little hope." | |||||
