@joshtruction He says "your mother? No.  Me." It seems unintentional, but seems like a great place to have the silence, that's for sure.

Is the audio supposed to drop out at 1:13? It adds to the power of what Nagg is saying by forcing the audience to pay attention to his face. If it was just an accident, it was a happy one.

I totlay agree, this is fantasticly done. I cant wait to see Complicite perform this come October

this is how the voices in a beckett play ought to sound, love to see the full version of this play, heavy stuff!

There is a book by his biographer called "Beckett Remembered. Remembering Beckett" I have a piece in this book and it will give you an insight into what this genius was like.

Wow, You worked with Beckett! That is so neat! What was he like in person!?

I did this scene with Beckett doing Nell. This is how he wanted me to perform it. It was a thrill performing with Beckett/

i love this monologue. this rendition..okay. .. kinda whiny, pitiful, like a child. not out of a grand experience, or the grand experience Becketts writing takes us into.

I'm also playing Nagg in a college production of Endgame. It's rather abstract and weird and I don't understand it too well, but It's not too bad.

i'm playing Nagg in our school production of this.....it's an incredibly abstract thing to have to do
