Get Your Hands On WOMEN IN BECKETT: Performance And Critical Perspectives Written And Illustrated By Linda Ben-Zvi Published As EPub
hi This book is divided into two parts: Interviews with actresses who've performed Beckett's plays and critical essays examining women in Beckett's work.
I found the nine interviews with the actresses the most enlightening and was struck by the common themes they raised: the difficulty of performing Beckett's highly scripted plays the musicality they attributed to his words when they are delivered correctly how the roles touched them as women and had lasting transformative effects even and the reverence they felt towards the plays.
The essays in the second part of the book are a gold mine of feminist criticism, offering a wide array of perspectival approaches to Beckett's work in all genre's.
