FLM0582 - Tópicos do Teatro (2019)

A celebration of the work of Samuel Beckett with classic performances. Watch "Murphy" @ ; "All that Fall" @ ; "Molloy" @ ; "Waiting for Godot" @ ; "Krapp's Last Tape" @ ; "Eh Joe" @ . With Pauline Delany, James Greene, Jack MacGowran, Ronald Pickup, Billie Whitelaw.

Krapp's Last Tape with Patrick Magee and Eh Joe with Jack MacGowran. Both these actors were, until their deaths, the outstanding performers of Samuel Beckett's plays and his own favourites. He had heard Magee's 'cracked voice' on radio and wrote the part of Krapp especially for him. And Jack MacGowran 's extraordinary battered face became the perfect emblem for Beckett's solitary figure in a bleak and relentless world. Eh Joe, the first play Beckett wrote specifically for television, was made in 1966 and Krapp's Last Tape, written in 1958 was performed for television in 1972.
