BECKETT IN PERFORMANCE
by Jonathan Kalb
Cambridge University Press
September 1991
“It’s a fine line we have to tread,
working so hard to give the character
a human quality…
and yet move the left foot
on the tightrope -
and to realize you are an actor
delivering poetic prose in play form.”
Bud Thorpe
