READINGS Returns with a Season of Samuel Beckett

Each month, Peter Marinker and friends present incisive, subversive writing from every era in READINGS.

Readings and discussion of the most disruptive, from the most informed, for the most discerning. Work from Beckett to Homer and back again - a word to the wise.

In October we begin a new series, this Season focusing on the extensive works of Samuel Beckett.

We begin with Samuel Beckett's FROM AN ABANDONED WORK published by Calder in his 1978 collection, SIX RESIDUA and continue through the year looking at both little and well known work with plays, poetry, letters and rough work for radio.

"Although the readings from Dante, Shakespeare and Kafka among others were wonderful evenings, it's great to be back with Sam." - Peter Marinker
