So, I've read all the short plays by Beckett in this book, but because I have no spatial awareness to speak of, nothing made sense. They're basically instructions aimed at actors/dances explaining how they should move on the stage and my mind went blank. Thankfully, there are filmed versions on Youtube.

KathyWheeler I think that‘s the best way to read plays. They were written to be performed, not read. I had a drama professor once who only taught plays that he could also get a taped performance of. 2y
Dilara @KathyWheeler So true. And understanding older plays is so much easier when you're watching a performance than when you're reading them on your own: the actors have done the hard work for you :-)
In the case of Quad, because it's all stage directions and no dialogue, watching is also quicker than reading...
