It takes its title from a comment Beckett made in 1957 about the origin of his own radio plays. Three speakers, Raymond Federman, Barry McGovern, and Natasha Parry, read selected excerpts from three works: 1951's Molloy, 1959's L'Image (The Image), and 1980's Company. Although quite different in nature and written in different periods of the author's career, all the texts share a sense of alienation.
