We're not entirely restrictive. We're not . . . conservers of museum pieces. Not at all. — Edward Beckett There is a school of thought (passionately held by many) that holds that it is tantamount to sacrilege to tamper with one of Samuel Beckett's texts.

One of Portora Royal School’s most famous sons, Samuel Beckett wrote Waiting for Godot which has been called “the most significant English language play of the 20th century” (though it was originally written in French). To try to describe what a Beckett play is about is almost to miss the point but essentially it follows two characters Vladimir and Estragon who...

... with the deep eyes of old men. The first one my eyes fixate on is seemingly an identical copy of Samuel Beckett in his old age. Quiet and photogenic, with an elegant worker’s leader cap on his head.

This is very much like Samuel Beckett's novels, Malloy, Malone, The Lost Ones, More Pricks than Kicks, and here we have the link with the Late Modernism that had the creator (author) and subject (novel) rising , in their unperishable need to produce, from the noisy clash and clutter of an aesthetic philosophy...
