Samuel Beckett

 
Samuel Beckett (1906 - 1989) was probably the most influential playwright of the 20th century. An Irish Protestant born south of Dublin, he spent much of his life in France, and wrote most of his major work in the French language.

Beckett wrote novels, poetry and criticism as well as plays, but the list here concentrates on his principal dramatic work, translated into English. There were also many short plays for stage and radio, and these may be found in Collected Shorter Plays as well as in Complete Dramatic Works.

Next to each title is the date of first performance. Eleutheria was written before Waiting for Godot in 1947, but was not published until after Beckett's death, and as far as I know has never been performed.
