Samuel Beckett wrote plays in French and English and translated them himself. Our aim is to present three plays in both languages to show “Beckett as a translator(and as) an experimenter in two languages simultaneously” (Friedman, et al, 1987). Come explore with us this Nobel Laureate’s experimental world.
