520    Few works have divided audience and critical opinion the 
       way Samuel Beckett's play Waiting For Godot did in 1953. 
       Almost immediately, Godot began to turn up in prisons 
       under startling circumstances. The Impossible Itself 
       documents the earliest of these prison performances of 
       Godot--in which German prisoners (some had been Nazis 
       during WWII) took Godot to a Jewish cultural building in 
       1956. But it is the legendary November 19th, 1957 
       performance at the San Quentin Prison by the San Francisco
       Actor's Workshop that is the centerpiece here. Made famous
       by Martin Esslin's seminal book The Theatre of the Absurd-
       -finally the perspective of those "worried actors" are 
       revealed. Concluding with a surprising epilogue at 
       Beckett's Paris apartment The Impossible Itself documents 
       this essential aspect of author Samuel Beckett's life and 
       work and is "a highly memorable film which adds new 
       material to what is known about Samuel Beckett's best 
       known work." -Professor James Knowlson, author of Damned 
       to Fame: the Life of Samuel Beckett.
