She will lecture on Samuel Beckett, an Irish expatriate who lived in France, a friend of James Joyce, and a remarkably modest and generous man. Beckett's life, as well as his thrilling, difficult plays will be the focus, with particular emphasis on his masterwork, Waiting for Godot, the most influential play of the 20th century. Two of Beckett's plays are in production in Philadelphia: EgoPo's Endgame and Lantern's Happy Days.
