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. 546 In English. 590 Alexander Street |bTheatre Performance and Design Collection: Theatre in Video, Volume II, Second Edition 600 10 Beckett, Samuel,|d1906-1989.|tEn attendant Godot. 600 10 Beckett, Samuel,|d1906-1989|xDramatic production. 600 10 Beckett, Samuel,|d1906-1989|xStage history. 610 20 Actor's Workshop (San Francisco, Calif.) 655 7 Documentary films.|2lcgft 655 7 Filmed interviews.|2lcgft 710 2 Podunc Pictures,|eproduction company. 776 08 |iOriginal version:|w(OCoLC)443109654 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?MARC;3233739|zOnline resource via Theatre Performance and Design Collection (Alexander Street).
