The Complete Dramatic Works. London: Faber & Faber, 1986. First Edition Thus. Pp, 476. Fine copy in dust jacket (price-clipped).

The complete collection Beckett’s plays for the theatre and radio in one volume.

The plays are imbued with listlessness, desolation and despair, but always some hope of redemption is to be found in the dogged stoicism and sardonic gallows humour of his characters.
