Close of Play: György Kurtág's operatic setting of Beckett's Endgame is given its UK premiere at this years Proms with Ryan Wigglesworth conducting the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

It's work of deep sadness rather than bitter humour, and beautifully done, even though the vast performing space never quite suggests the play's claustrophobia

President Trump:
Hang on, Donald. Word is that a million-man MAGA militia is assembling to save you. The operation is being led by a General Godot. Stay strong. Help is on the way.

Dann tröte ich den jetzt auch mal hier:

Mein Lieblingssatz ist:

„Immer versucht. Immer gescheitert. Egal. Wieder versuchen. Wieder scheitern. Besser scheitern.“

Auch wenn ich ins Gelingen verliebt bin.

At the end of 1983, The Times newspaper invited a number of authors to write about their resolutions and hopes for the New Year. Samuel Beckett replied by telegram:

Ussher was a regular contributor to the Dublin Magazine and The Bell, a president of the Irish Academy of Letters for twelve years and a correspondent of Samuel .

Bio: dib.ie/biography/ussher-percy-

His mother, Emily Ussher, should also be remembered: from a reforming family (the Judd's), she wrote "The Trail of the Black and Tans" under a pseudonym to highlight to those in Britain the atrocities being committed in their name by the Black and Tans

After years of rejections, Samuel Beckett finally found a publisher for Watt in Paris in 1953. I photographed this copy of the Olympia Press first edition in the window of Shakespeare and Company in spring 2018, along with the reflection of the still-intact Notre-Dame de Paris. &Company
