From Page to Stage to Reel: Beckett on Film

In Imelda Whelehan’s chapter “Adaptations:The contemporary dilemmas”, she notes that Geoffrey Wagner “is perhaps one of the first commentators to identify three types of adaptation: transposition¦; commentary¦; analogy” (“Adaptations” 8). Consider one of the films we have examined this term (the Beckett on Film adaptation of Samuel Beckett’s ˜Play’, the Beckett on Film adaptation of Samuel Beckett’s ˜Not I’ or the BBC adaptation of ˜Not I’)and provide an argument about the adaptation in terms of your classification of it using Wagner’s terminology. If the essay is on ˜Not I’ speak about the Beckett on Film adaptation and then reference and speak less so on the BBC adaptation of ˜Not I”. Out of 10 sources/references, no limit on internet sources if they are ebooks, online journels/articles/books. If the source is a specific website, maximum of 4 for that. Some Critical essays I have looked at myself in relation to this essay: Henri Bergson, œMatter and Memory Gilles Deleuze, œThe Exhausted Imelda Whelehan, œAdaptations Matthew Davies, œSomeone is looking at me still: The Audience “ Creature Relationship in the Theater Plays of Samuel Beckett
