abstract:Michael Colgan (died 22 June 1953) was an Irish independent politician and trade union official. He was a member of Seanad Éireann from 1943 to 1944 and from 1948 to 1953.
Directed by MichaelColgan with scrupulous faithfulness to Beckett's text, he shows us a self-obsessed artist who, having chosen between (in Yeats's phrase) "perfection of the life, or of the work, " has lived to regret his decision to opt for the solitary pursuit of his elusive muse.
