A bunch of Beckett - BeckettFest - 19 Beckett Plays by the Pittsburgh Irish and Classical Theatre

The Pittsburgh Irish and Classical Theatre are about to put on 19 of Samuel Beckett's plays. This is a terribel idea and one which no doubt the great 'Shem' himself would be against. Running so many of his plays together will cause an Andy Warhol type repetitive print for consumer access to often very disturbing and very moving plays. I am all for popular access but for plays that were so extreme in the dictates of their presentation, to present them in this manner seems to run contrary to the wishes and perhaps the goal of their creator.

If you feel the same about mass productions of Beckett plays please leave a comment
