Eleuthéria. A Play in Three Acts. Translated from the French by Michael Brodsky. New York: Foxrock, 1995. First Edition. Pp, 196. A fine copy in pictorial dust jacket.

Eleuthéria is Beckett’s first play, written in French in 1947.

Beckett ‘jettisoned’ this work and did not publish it in his lifetime.

With three acts, a relatively complex set and a cast of seventeen, it is very unlike the shadows and bare stages typically associated with the playwright.
