Influencing Beckett Beckett Influencing

How many playwrights, novelists, philosophers, artists, composers, performers,
filmmakers and critical thinkers influenced Samuel Beckett? And how profound
has Beckett’s impact been on creative artists worldwide, who have responded to
the stimulus of his work using every available medium, from theatre and
television, through opera and contemporary art, to the internet and virtual
reality? This book approaches these two questions. With contributions from
eight countries, this volume emerges from the first Beckett conference to be
held in Hungary. It captures the international, experimental, and
collaborative spirit of the Samuel Beckett Working Group of the International
Federation for Theatre Research.
