| Description | David Mamet's adaptation of Samuel Beckett's play of the same name. The film was part of the Beckett on Film project, a project conceived by Michael Colgan, artistic director of Dublin's Gate Theatre. The films were produced by Colgan and Alan Moloney for the Irish broadcaster RTÉ, the British broadcaster Channel 4 and the Irish Film Board. Each had a different cast and director, drawn from theatre, film and other fields. The work was rehearsed and filmed between 11 and 14 April 2000. An autocratic Director and his female Assistant put the “‘[f]inal touches to the last scene of some kind of dramatic presentation”, which consists entirely of a man (The Protagonist) standing still onstage. |
