Beckett on Film Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Beckett on Film was a project to make film versions of all nineteen of Samuel Beckett's plays for the stage with the exception of the early and unperformed Eleutheria. This endeavour was completed with the first films being shown in 2001.The project was conceived by Michael Colgan, artistic director of the Gate Theatre, Dublin. The films were produced by Michael Colgan and Alan Maloney for the Irish broadcaster RTÉ, the British broadcaster Channel 4 and the Irish Film Board. Each film had a different cast and director, drawn from theatre, film and other fields.
Some of the films were shown on Channel 4 television, and in 2002 the series won the Best TV Drama award at the South Bank Show awards. The films never had a general cinematic release, but in September 2001 all nineteen were screened at the Barbican Centre in London. They were also released on a number of videos and as a four DVD box set.
