PB n J Beckett

What if Samuel Beckett was as concerned with making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich as he was with the plight of existential man? Originally performed in the New York Neo-Futurists production of "Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind (30 plays in 60 minutes)."

I feel stupider for having watched this. Is this what Americans do with Beckett? I'm never going back!

[nyneofuturists]

How can one better magnify the Almighty than by sniggering with him at his little jokes, particularly the poorer ones...

Enjoy! Don't destroy.

I did see monkeys in this video. They were full of thunder.

Great job,

*sighs, shakes hand in peace*

This was really funny! If Beckett made a scene about PB & J, it would go like this.

Terrific cinematography, editing, directing, etc. Very cool! Thanks for putting this up!

[maxsomebody]

okay, good. the last part was the thing is was worried about.

[joeyrizzolo]

Thanks! Futurism is indeed long dead (& the Futurists themselves would have it no other way). As Neo-Futurists, we use early avant-garde concepts (i.e. Futurism) to create timely theater that strives to strengthen the bond between the artist and the audience. Like the Futurists, we discard our work constantly to ensure the creation of new work. Like the Futurists, we embrace brevity, truth, chaos, and chance. Unlike the Futurists, we don't collectively support war-mongering fascist regimes.

jeez its not that clever. its all very drama student and lord knows there's a lot of them...

i did enjoy it but getting beckett and the characteristics of his work doesn't make you a genius, people!

[maxsomebody]

this is very funny and clever, despite the silliness of the concept and the whole futurism thing (i didn't realize people still believed in that). the filming is very well done; this is one of the few times i've ever enjoyed a split-screen. you make it work very well.
