We are excited to announce the stage plays of Samuel Beckett will be live on Drama Online in March worldwide (excluding US and Canada).
Without Beckett the study of twentieth-century and contemporary theatre would be incomplete; his work brought to the European theatre a new form of drama, one which demanded a new criticism, a new acting style and a new aesthetics. Throughout a long and ultimately successful writing career, Beckett astounded and challenged his audiences as he refined and reinvented modern theatre practice.
Available exclusively* in an online education platform for the first time through Drama Online*, the content will provide nineteen plays from Beckett’s oeuvre; from the paradigm-shifting first success of Waiting for Godot to Endgame and Krapp's Last Tape, students can study the evolution and refinement of one of the greatest artists of the twentieth-century stage.
Making the announcement, Henry Volans, Director of Faber Press writes: 'Faber and Faber first published Waiting for Godot in 1956 and has been the home of Samuel Beckett's plays for more than half a century. The Nobel Prize-winning author is responsible for some of the most important and enduring late modernist works of fiction, drama and poetry, and it is a privilege to be able to bring these works into Drama Online, where they will be available to readers and students of literature and drama for years to come.'
The content will be available in March through the core collection (consisting of Faber, Bloomsbury Methuen Drama and Arden Shakespeare titles) as part of ongoing subscriptions.For more information, please get in touch.
Best wishes,
