Performing Embodiment in Samuel Becketts Drama

The representation and experience of embodiment is a central preoccupation of Samuel Becketts drama, one that he explored through diverse media. McMullan investigates the full range of Becketts dramatic canon for stage, radio, television and film, including early drama, mimes and unpublished fragments. She examines how Becketts drama composes and recomposes the body in each medium, and provokes ways of perceiving, conceiving and experiencing embodiment that address wider preoccupations with corporeality, technology and systems of power.
