Meeting Beckett.

- Abstract
The article discusses the author's experience of a personal encounter with Irish dramatist Sam Beckett in West Berlin, Germany. She spent a lot of time in her grim room, lying in bed reading James Joyce. When someone mentioned that Beckett was in Berlin, she was encouraged to contact him to meet with some members of Mabou Mines. She finally arrived with Beckett in the lobby and there were awkward introductions. Before Beckett left, he approved the adaptation of his radio play "Cascando."
