Catastrophe (play)


 

Catastrophe is a short play by Samuel Beckett, written in 1982. Unique in the Beckett canon, it is one of the only plays to deal with a political theme and (arguably) holds the title of Beckett's most optimistic work. It was dedicated to then imprisoned Czech reformer and playwright, Václav Havel.
