- Description
- Samuel Beckett’s last few plays were all written by invitation and performed before specialist audiences who were familiar with his work and knew what they could expect from him. Arthur Rose quite rightly points out that such expectation is constitutive in nature, that these audiences approached the plays with the baggage of a “preconceived Beckett” (112–13). He is also right when he argues that Beckett, in the plays in question, evinces an awareness of his reification as an author and of the authority of reputation.
