'Why do people make something so simple so complicated',
By Norm. "Norm." (France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sails of the Herring Fleet: Essays on Beckett (Theater: Theory/Text/Performance) (Hardcover)
The Editorial Review above says it all - suitable for university libraries only. And Mr. Blau is so big-headed too. And he thinks Beckett's own attempts at directing were too 'literal' whereas his, of course, are clever. Clever by extending the opening mime in Endgame to 12 minutes? Beckett shorted and simplified it, at the Schiller Theatre. Beckett thought Endgame should last 75 minutes, Blau 2 hours. Yawn, yawn. Nothing more to say, as the book is unreadable to anyone outside the freemasonry of academia. You all ought to take a leaf out of the scientists' book; make yourself accessible, become 'sexy'. It really is not that difficult to speak simply; as Sam knew! |
