Sounds Of Silence (1989)

Samuel Beckett as a playwright absurd

Samuel Beckett Bracelay (1906-1989) is concerned as one of the leading playwrights of the postmodern era. He brought revolutionary changes in the standards and rules under which a drama has been popular for several centuries and introduced a new type of drama that Martin Esslin labeled with the title "The theater of the absurd." The theater of the absurd has the anguish of the man who arises because it is surrounded by areas of impenetrable darkness. In this chaos, there will never be able to know his true nature and purpose and nobody can provide the ready-made rules of conduct. Marking the difference between a good game and a game nonsense, Martin Esslin opines:

If a good play must have a cleverly constructed story, they have no story or plot to speak of: If a good play is judged by subtlety of characterization and motivation is often recognizable characters and without submitting to the audience with almost mechanical puppets, if a good game should have a theme well explained, which is perfectly exposed and finally solved, which often have no beginning or end, if a good game is to hold the mirror and nature to depict the habits and manners of the age in finely observed sketches, they often seem to be reflections of dreams and nightmares, "if a good play relies on witty dialogue and sharp, often consist these inconsistent beginnings. (21-22)

Canon Beckett's drama is wide and varied. He wrote two plays, mime, six radio plays, films, six television scripts, a play and drama actorless seventeen actors with speaking on stage. His long series of dramas are jewelry collection in the storage of the literature. About his interest in parts Bair said: "It was like a game for him to put the speech on paper, imagine how the characters should move and talk - all within the confines of the printed page and his mind . It was a bit like chess: Conspiracy moves, predict changes and interactions intellectualize. (381)

His first release for the stadium was a new piece called historical human desires. It is planned to be a play in four acts who discussed the life of Dr. Johnson. After another original play The Kid lost his pen, his mastery over the documents because of the war. Immediately after which he gave Elutheria that was thought to be developed in three acts, but never felt the presence of the theater. His masterpiece Waiting for Godot gave him a distinct voice as a playwright. It came with two acts that Beckett has suggested, an act would have been too little and three would have been too much. The play has been severely criticized, but its depth and originality have been recognized. This is a play about two tramps waiting on a country road Godot stranger will reward their waiting at the rendezvous.

After that, Beckett abandoned scene for many years and were engaged in translating the French version in English. But the reputation of Waiting for Godot forced to write something new and the result came in the form of radio play called "All That Fall, followed by Endgame. All That Fall he took in the new world of radio, a different medium, but with the day to day characters. Endgame claustrophobic in this series, the position of the terminal and characters of unidentifiable origin. The game began with the thought of two acts, but the gap has been deliberately abandoned Beckett thought there was no structural reason for it. There are an ordinary family quarrels daily and attachments. The disaster of Endgame Beckett led him to write a play mime - Act without words, represents a silent character, who is struggling to learn the futility of the motion.
