Book Synopsis
Staging Beckett in London presents the first dedicated performance history of Samuel Beckett's drama in London theatre culture. By tracing these performance histories through original findings in international archives, interviews with key practitioners and framing the performances in their historical and cultural contexts, this open access historiography offers new readings and insights into productions of Beckett's plays in London. Matthew McFrederick re-evaluates Beckett's role in London theatres and the importance of their influence on Beckett's career and legacy. This volume argues that Samuel Beckett has held a long and varied relationship with London and its theatres. Although Dublin and Paris hold obvious connections with Beckett's life, London is the city that has proved the most consistent home for his drama, the origin for many of his major collaborations and where his legacy continues to flourish today. From the Royal Court to the National Theatre and from Riverside Stu
