One Response to Fin de partie – Samuel Beckett

    Apparently when a theatre company in the States staged Endgame in a subway setting, Beckett was not at all pleased. At an out of court settlement, it was agreed this addendum should go in every programme.

    “Any production of Endgame which ignores my stage directions is completely unacceptable to me. My play requires an empty room and two small windows. The American Repertory Theatre production which dismisses my directions is a complete parody of the play as conceived by me. Anybody who cares for the work couldn’t fail to be disgusted by this.”
