SUMMARY:Samuel Beckett
DESCRIPTION:Professor's Corner: Samuel Beckett\n\nWed.\, Jan. 14\, 7:00 PM\n\nPresenter: Dr. Patrick Bynane\n\nDenton Public Library--South Branch\n\n\n\nSession description: Samuel Beckett forever changed the landscape of playwriting with the debut of Waiting for Godot. Representing many of the most important cultural currents of the 20th century\, Beckett's work embraced existentialist philosophy\, absurdist drama\, and high-modernist experimentation. Among these concepts\, though\, it is easy to lose track of one of the most important ideas in Beckett's work: the role of play.\n\n\n\nPlay for Beckett was so much more than role-play or language games\; it was a way of experimenting with the world and the many contingent arrangements that could be found in life. We will look at two works by Beckett\, "Endgame\," and "Play\," and the way in which Beckett expands our notion of play through his work.\n\n\n\nAs Hamm says at the start of "Endgame\," "Me...to play."\n\n\n\nCoordinator: Fred Kamman\, Denton Public Library\; Fred.Kamman@cityofdenton.com\; 940-349-8752.\n\n\n\nSupporters: Denton Public Library\, Voertman's Bookstore\, Recycled Books Records CDs\, Cooper's Copies and Printing\, and Humanities Texas. "This program was made possible in part with a grant from Humanities Texas\, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities."
