Samuel Beckett


I took this picture of Samuel Beckett in London in 1965 at a rehearsal for a BBC production of "Waiting for Godot". Beckett observed acutely, never taking his eyes of the actors or director, but said very little. When they broke for lunch we went to a local pub where Beckett drank Guinness and played bar billiards. He beat everybody.

  1. Based on the plays, you would never guess Sammy B could cut loose and play pool. Though I guess it's fitting he likes his beer dark.
