This site is dedicated to various adaptations of the works of Samuel Beckett. It endeavours to be as extensive as possible in an attempt to contribute a valuable research resource to the academic world. Within, one will find various lists indicating works that have been adapted as sorted by various means. Perhaps the particular adaptation you are looking for is not there or is listed incorrectly -- e-mail us the correct information with proper academic support for your claim, and we will gladly change it. The site (and ultimately the course) attempts to uncover exactly what is an ‘adaptation’ -- entries may or may not conform to your working definition of the concept; however, therein lies the fun.




The product of Tim Conley’s English Graduate Course entitled “Samuel Beckett: Meditations and Mediations,” this site is the result of the hard work of fourteen of Brock University’s graduate students.





We would like to acknowledge the assistance of a great number of people and organizations who assisted in making this project possible --
