Episode 003 Bonus: Endgame by Samuel Beckett - More on Beckett's life and Waiting for Godot
Host: Douglas Schatz Guest: Dr Matthew McFrederick, Lecturer in Theatre at the University of Reading.
Welcome to The Play Podcast where we explore the greatest new and classic plays. Each episode we choose a single play – often one that is on stage somewhere in the UK – and we talk about it in more depth than you will find in the reviews of any one production. We’ll discuss the play’s origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing.
This is a brief addendum to episode 3 on Samuel Beckett's Endgame, extracted from the original conversation with Matthew McFrederick that was published on 30th April 2020. This excerpt talks about Beckett’s early life, as well as where his first plays came from, including his breakthrough play Waiting for Godot.
