In your opinion, what is the importance of the ACTION in Beckett's plays? It's very important, hope you can help :)
 
Action? I would rather say No-action.
1957: Act sans parole: the man is nothing but a puppet following a sound from left or right.
Willy in HD is absolutely apathy's possessed and at the end the woman, Winnie (a very little Victory indeed) goes down : the earth is absorbing her. Not to tell on m and W1, W2 in the deep darkness and stuck to their place of anguish. They are all lost, that's the point.
The problem in Bcktt's theater is spirit against stuff: the critics never say this, since they are nothing but dull matter.
