Institut del Teatre, Barcelona · 21-26 July, 2013
The Samuel Beckett Working Group will be meeting at FIRT/IFTR International Federation for Theatre Research Annual ConferencePapers to be presented at the Working Group are distributed and read by all the participants ahead of the meeting. At the Working Group session presenters give short resumes of their work, followed by a lengthy discussion period (each presenter has 45 minutes in all). This is an extremely effective method, which allows ideas to be discussed, debated and evaluated, with participants suggesting directions for presenters’ works-in-progress. There is limited space for presenters, so do get in touch as soon as possible to guarantee a place; there will also be a limited space for auditors, who would also be sent the papers to read, and be encouraged to engage in the discussions during the sessions.

The Working Group topic will be ‘Samuel Beckett in the Twenty-first Century.’ This topic covers areas such as- New experiments in the theatre
