A two-part biography of the Irish writer Samuel Beckett. The first part covers the traumas of his formative years: his ill-fated love affair with his first cousin, the death of his father, and his decorated service with the French Resistance. He had settled in France before the Second World War, met fellow Irishman James Joyce, and begun writing. Patrick Magee's television performance of `Krapp's Last Tape' (1972) is interwoven with key landscapes and personalities from Beckett's life. The second part concludes the story of how Beckett finally began to connect with his audience, principally through `Waiting for Godot'. Includes an interview with the actress Billie Whitelaw, a celebrated interpreter of his work.

First Witch
Macbeth is a 1978 videotaped version of Trevor Nunn's Royal Shakespeare Company production of the play by William Shakespeare. Produced by Thames Television, it features Ian McKellen as Macbeth and Judi Dench as Lady Macbeth. The TV version was directed by Philip Casson. The original stage production was performed at The Other Place, the RSC's small studio theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon. It had been performed in the round before small audiences, with a bare stage and simple costuming. The recording preserves this style: the actors perform on a circular set and with a mostly black background changes of setting are indicated only by lighting changes.

Marion Fairweather
로만 폴란스키 감독의 세 번째 장편영화. 갱스터 이야기를 전복적으로 우스꽝스럽게 비튼 작품인 막다른 골목은 처음에 제목을 사무엘 베케트의 부조리극 에서 제목을 따 로 지었을 정도로 초현실주의와 부조리 연극의 영향을 강하게 받았다. 이 영화는 로만 폴란스키 감독이 주로 다루는 모티브 중 하나인 캐릭터 사이의 파워 게임을 다룬다. 이 파워 게임의 특징은 희생자와 가해자의 역할이 끊임없이 바뀐다는 점. 로만 폴란스키 영화답게 사건은 갇힌 공간에서 펼쳐지는데, 배를 배경으로 한 , 아파트가 배경인 , , 만큼 폐쇄적이지는 않다. 그렇지만 도망갈 데가 없다는 점은 매한가지.
