His works baffled his audiences, but his sensitive explorations of love, loss, and time as well as his portrayal of complex characters and ambiguities, revolutionized the theater with an exhilarating new form of drama. This volume includes new translations, full explanatory notes, a chronology, sugge... View more info

All of the play's characters are plunged into that precarious state where, in Beckett's wo... View more info
