> Is that "Happy Days"? That one is my favorite :-) I haven't seen any of his plays performed, but like theatre of the absurd stuff.
(Allen) Actually, it's "this" one:

to the play (in Two Acts) "Happy Days" and here's a url for a Beckett DVD set (which includes the play, as well--I just might order that, too, altho I have an old video cassette tape that a friend dubbed for me, a decade ago!) and I'm sure you could find a lot more.

BTW? "Happy Days" is NOT, as I "wrongly remembered," the "play" w/the Big Mouth; in fact, I'm not even sure if the one I was thinking of is even a play, at all, but a short film/video, as Beckett was very much "into" in his later years.
(((Off topic: I just found this "cool banner" on another site the other day displaying--a la Mount Rushmore! <== just kidding--w/the busts of Sammy Beckett, W.B. Yeats, Seamus Heaney, and G.B. Shaw, and I remembered that Ireland, a country about the same size as INDIANA, has had more Nobel Prize winners for Literature than ANY OTHER COUNTRY on the planet . . . It must be in the water; or? The Guinness.)))
