John Russell Brown presents the second of eight programmes on drama in Britain since the War.
Breaking the Surface - Interior Drama
Samuel Beckett 's Waiting for Godut. which received its first London production in 1955, explored the interior life that exists behind spoken thought. It had a profound influence on young British dramatists of the period like Harold Pinter.
JOHN RUSSELL BROWN considers the similarities and differences between these two writers and the influence that Pinter has had, in his turn, on more recent British playwrights. Producer DENNIS SIMMONS
