Samuel Beckett is widely regarded as one of the darkest, strangest, and most dramatically innovative writers of the 20th century. Gaining international fame in part for confusing and frustrating audiences, his work is coded with the goop of absurdity and oozes with the sludge of black humor. Inside, however, Beckett’s work is deeply poignant and honest, putting the pains and plights of the human experience center stage and shining a spotlight on it, so we can better see it, laugh at it, cry over it, and embrace it.
In this video, we explore the life and work of the renowned twentieth-century playwright, Samuel Beckett. First garnering notoriety from his play, Waiting for Godot, Beckett’s work explores dark, unnerving, and often humorous themes of existence that both mock as well as inform on the human experience.
