Celebrating Samuel Beckett at 100

Famous novelist and playwright, Beckett's best known for his play Waiting for Godot. UMBC devotes an exhibit to representations of his work by a number of visual and stage artists.

Samuel Beckett's imagination has seared readers and theater- goers for more than 75 years. To celebrate his 100th birthday, UMBC devotes an exhibit to representations of his work by a number of visual and stage artists. Born in Ireland, Beckett wrote texts in French and English, and he received the 1969 Nobel Prize in Literature for his collective works. Most famous for his play Waiting for Godot, where two bums anticipate a hopeless appointment, Beckett has been labeled everything from an existentialist to a Buddhist because his open-ended yet thought-provoking writing continues to be embraced by a range of believers. On Feb. 8, three of UMBC's resident scholars participate in readings, discussions, and performances relating to the works on display. —Laura Gordon
