520 8 _aSamuel Beckett's relationship with British theatre is complex and underexplored, yet his impact has been immense. Uniquely placing performance history at the centre of its analyses, this volume examines Beckett's drama as it has been staged in Great Britain, bringing to light a wide range of untold histories and in turn illuminating six decades of drama in Britain. Ranging from studies of the first English tour of Waiting for Godot in 1955 to Talawa's 2012 all-black co-production of the same play, this volume excavates a host of archival resources in order to historicise how Beckett's drama has interacted with specific theatres, directors and theatre cultures in the UK.
