5.0 out of 5 stars Beckett complete dramas., 16 Nov 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Complete Dramatic Works (Paperback)
If you are new to the works of Samuel Beckett then this is the best place to start in my opinion. There is nothing I can add which hasn't already been said about these dramas, only that they are quite short and moderately accessible but almost inexhaustable in their complexity. To describe these works as 'existentialist' really doesn't do them justice or decribe their nature to any deep degree. The plays are unique and must be experienced to be understood. Generally there is a quite dark tone to most of the works, sometimes obscenely disturbing, sometimes cynically funny but at times there are moments of true poetic beauty. I would strongly recommend these plays to anyone interested in drama of a more unconventional type. High points include - 'Waiting for Godot', 'Endgame', 'Krapp's last tape' and 'All that falls'. However, as a general warning, these are not uplifting plays, I myself found some of them sickening and disturbing in parts.

5.0 out of 5 stars the complete works of the master of 'theatre of the absurd', 16 May 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Complete Dramatic Works (Paperback)
Compact, well presented collection of Beckett epic metamorphosis of modern theatre - from Godot to Ghost Trio. Plays following the more 'excepted structure' to works of silence and light. The only crit is the briefness of notes about first performances. Otherwise a must have for those intrested in exploring the limits of theatre.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant! But BE WARNED!, 30 April 2009
To be honest I struggled to give this a star rating. The content is nothing short of superb and deserves 5 stars any day of the week. The fact that all the plays are together makes comparison easy to do and it's nice to by unencumbered by critics' musings and prejudices. HOWEVER, the quality of the book is pretty shoddy. Mine is already starting to fall apart and pages are beginning to divorce themselves from the binding increasing persistence. If you're looking for something that will give you all of Beckett's plays, but don't need to preserve its structural integrity for too long, then it will do the job, but i recommend looking elsewhere if you want a copy that you feel deserves to be cherished!
