Publisher's Synopsis
This volume completes the publication of the facsimiles, with transcription and commentary, of the notebooks kept by Samuel Beckett when directing productions of his own plays. Here are Eh, Joe, Play, Come and Go, That Time, Footfalls and What Where. Professor Gontarski brings his own experience as a director to editing this book, which provides a continuing revelation, not only of the playwright's solutions to the practical problems of staging, but also of the way he envisaged his work. To these 'shorter plays' Samuel Beckett devoted the same care and attention to the details of textual revision and stagecraft as he did tothe full-length works, and this book contains revised texts prepared on the same editorial basis as before.
