Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett

Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett

Beckett, Samuel, 1906-1989

First edition, sixteenth printing of Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett. This prompt book was used for the landmark 1975 Berlin production of Waiting for Godot at the Schiller-Theater that Beckett himself directed. Copiously marked up by Rick Cluchey with colored underlining and autograph notations, the book reveals in vivid detail the extensive revisions Beckett made to his original work, which included dialogue changes, the excision of entire scenes, new directorial emphases, and alterations to the staging. Rick Cluchey witnessed these modifications first hand, as he had been invited to observe the rehearsals by Beckett.
