Beckett on Film is a twenty-first century collection of original and extended interviews with internationally renowned actors and directors who created the Beckett on Film (2001) project.

Speaking directly to the reader each artist explores the processes involved in recreating Samuel Beckett's nineteen stage plays for film and TV. The artist lays bare the creative genesis and artistic processes of creation to the reader, and the reader of the Actors and Directors' Cut discovers the secrets of creation. This volume allows the reader to experience the moment of creative genesis of the twenty-first century artist, as the artist first confronts and then negotiates the complex aesthetic and ethical intricacies involved in reproducing Samuel Beckett's work. It is the artistic analysis of the Beckett text from the moment of creative genesis through to the final film that is brought to light in the Actors and Directors' Cut. This book places the twenty-first century artist at the forefront of critically analysing Beckett's work through their practices and the experience of directing and acting Beckett.
