Company

Considered the crown of Samuel Beckett's Late Period, Company has become a modern classic, an extraordinary blending of thought and memory, with poignant glimpses of childhood, including even the author's birth, juxtaposed with a voice, one and many, examining the situation of one lying on his back in the dark, 'the fable of one fabling of one with you in the dark.' Company contains some of Beckett's most quoted passages and has been given many times on the stage as a monologue, at the Royal National Theatre, London, at Barrault's Théatre de Rond Point in Paris and elsewhere.
