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.

Oh joy, at the 25 minute mark, Molloy and his sucking stones. But something is wrong with me-when I read this years ago, I roared with laughter, now I merely chuckle.
This channel has the best content on Samuel Beckett.
Thank you.
Max Wall, what a performance
I really enjoyed Max Wall and Leo McKern in Godot. Master class performances. I wish this included act 1.
Thank you. This is precious.
Ronald Pickup is a surprise. haven't seen that before. An ace.
choice bits are easier to chew over & digest than whole works
in this world now we have a short attention span theatre
but eventually one feels the need to confront the whole
daunting as it may be like wearing the hairshirt
I'm at the point in my life where I derive great pleasure and comfort in Beckett's works so I've been scouring for everything I can. I'm not yet familiar with a lot of what I'm seeing here but what I can say with some degree of certainty is that the scene from Murphy was delivered by the same gentlemen that talked King Harry into invading France in Henry V. Archbishop of Cantebury I believe it was?
And Pozzo? Why that's Tom from Waiting For God. I'll be damned.
A multitude of thanks for posting, wonderful. The dissenters on the Nobel Prize committee who said Samuel Beckett was a nihilist and more negative comments besides (the papers and their opinions have been in the newspapers these last couple of days) obviously lacked a sense of humour. A great compilation. Maybe the one thumbs down was a member of the panel.
Viddy well, little sister, Viddy well.
Were the versions with Billie Whitelaw talking about Beckett and Harold Pinter talking about Beckett and reading the end of The Unnamable, which we can also find on the channel, extra content in this A wake for Sam (1990) ?
Who are the two actors so wonderfully playing Didi and Gogo?
Oh, and if I should mourn his passing . Tomorrow will end the suffering if only we were so contented by God.Is it in the night I should ride with treasonous thoughts and swelling of my resurgence as human. Go I must into that dark night with no brilliance. Not a flutter of wings or sneeze or cough that breaks the crickets rhythm to expel phlegm from both my own poverty but, also from those with no ailment but their own ever more lacking objectivity.
I should not think for a moment that my life has meant nothing more then the acknowledgement of humors good or bad I shall however note that they were far more then that. A humor that denied the dog his bark without having to acknowledge the snarling or the bite by anymore then to live in a state of paranoia rendering any real pain or blood as not being their own. I can feel it the coldest grip . It is my own and I must warm my appendages or be consumed by that icy cold. Why am I cold now?
Yes thank you for your jacket it is providing some warmth. I hate to be a pill but, perhaps a small sip? None? Well let me assure you that as I am closer then ever to my maker he smiles upon you with the greatest mercy despite the shortage. Let me say to that I once again feel the cold penetrate my stomach.
Could it ache anymore if I had known this brilliance would dare I say more complex then an end?
I lament the ending having not been there end how could I know what it is that I will miss? I have a desire a desire to find warmth as the cold creeps closer to my throat I must not let on that I am colder then ever now be brave sir.
Bravery at this moment then why so curious is this moment and all others to follow surely I will not be denied rest. Sleep and how. Sleep is it strangely comforting that we should sleep despite not knowing if or when we should awaken or perhaps if we will at all? Should my eyes close it may be forever I must not shiver or close my eyes do not let on that I am ever more.....
You know your stuff John....

The man said he didn't think the artist himself was much but that his work should be the focus. He was a gentle kindly soul and I can't stand his work. Everyone who met him said nice things but for the life of my I cannot tolerate anything he's written.
