"Breath" short Play by Samuel Beckett

 Hello readers !

             Once again  warmly welcome to my blog.  We all very well know about the Absurd theatre and many absurd plays of Samuel Beckett. So, here I'm putting my views about the short Play "Breath" by Samuel Beckett. This task assigned by our professor Dr. Dilip Barad sir. In this task we have to shoot one thirty second video  to shaw our creativity. So first I'll give you a brief introduction about auther. 

                 Samuel Barclay Beckett (13 April 1906 – 22 December 1989) was an Irish novelist, playwright, short story writer, theatre director, poet, and literary translator. A resident of Paris for most of his adult life, he wrote in both French and English. He is considered one of the last modernist writers, and one of the key figures in what Martin Esslin called the "Theatre of the Absurd". His best-known work is his 1953 play Waiting for Godot.

               Beckett was awarded the 1969 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his writing, which—in new forms for the novel and drama—in the destitution of modern man acquires its elevation." He was elected Saoi of Aosdána in 1984.
