To my mind, quite terrifying. Quintessential Beckett. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNti7qCn-kg |

Is this the Billie Whitelaw version, Ramsey? Terrifying indeed. I read once that Beckett insisted that even the fire exit lights were covered over in the theatre when this was performed, so that the only thing not in complete darkness was the actress's mouth. |

That fairly recent Beckett DVD collection is, to my lack of money, superb. |

Bloody hell, that is disturbing. I've seen the image before but this is the first time I've seen the performance. Shudder. |

This one? http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/167826/Beckett-On-Film/Product.html A bit pricey, but very tempting... |

Jesus, that was fucking awesome - pure existential terror at its most paralysing. Imagine being sat in the audience, in the dark, watching that, listening to that - the intensity in that room! Fuck!! Miraculous indeed... my heart is still pounding. |
