Relation

Years earlier, Beckett wrote to Donald McWhinnie of the BBC, on 11 December 1957: “I was in Paris last night and there listened to Molloy. Reception execrable needless to say, but I got enough, knowing the text so well, to realize the extraordinary quality of Magee’s performance. Please express to him my gratitude and congratulations. I trembled at the approach of certain passages in the tone he had committed himself to. As far as I could hear he brought them off amazingly.” -The Letters of Samuel Beckett, 1957-1965, p. 77
