Here is a collection of three of  Samuel Beckett's greatest works.

'Waiting for Godot' - The great play where nothing happens except that the whole of human exsistence unravels before your very eyes.

'Happy Days' - The character of Winnie is buried up to her waist and proved to be one of the great challenges for a female performer (and audience) of it's time. With very little to hold the audiences attention except routine gesture and words, this is one of Beckett's strangest and most acclaimed works.

Krapp's Last Tape (and Embers) - Originally written for radio Krapp's Last Tape has been performed by a number of distinguished actors since it transferred to the stage. A classic monologue which has stood the test of time.
