Beckett, Ionesco, and the Theater of the Absurd: Crash Course Theater #45

Aristophanes has a bit of absurdist feel in his plays

An U.S.A suburb would be the perfect setting for an absurd

"lol!" "lol." "lol?"

1) You put up a “No Exit” sign without explanation... It’s a shame because that play (aka “In Camera”, “Huis Clos”) by Sartre is my favourite play of all time!
2) Genet: Actually I’ve always thought The Maids should be played by (gay) men. That’s how I read it.
And Genet wants it to be played VERY subdued, not melodramatic (read the rather vulgar expression in his directions).
3) We did Ionesco in grade 8! Young people “get” absurd art better than “sensible” adults.

You are also Funny 😂
Tnx Sir 👍
I like those people who create Videos for study and Also joke.than That lecture become interesting as well as We don't feel burden...😍keep similing sir

Can you please make a video of waiting for Godot as an absurd drama, comedy, tragic?

Please please make videos, covering the whole 5th semester syllabus for English honours students.

I love this so much! And could we get some citations in the description?

tfw you’re waiting for your friend to come over to play games but he never logs on and you and your friend are just :|

'...lol'

Gentle hint from a french speaker: when Mr Martin says "beaux-arts" it's pronounced "boh zart" because of liaison, so it would phonetically fit the rest of the words that are being said that sound similar :)

Lol

Your hair is absurd. How can you face us with That?

I’m watching this because I’m playing the maid in my college’s production of “The Bald Soprano”.

Watching it right before my exam

Albert... Kamoo? Reeeeally?

I really wish he could talk about the chairs. I really adored the play.

Well we hit The Baby Boomers Generation, JFK Assassination ahead, Gen X Soon.

Quick Grab him We Need to know How he keeps Leaping Through Time, and tell him to go home at least once, He's got a wife waiting for him. Dr. Samuel Beckett, Quantum Leap. I love that Show, Tachyon Particles.

Thank you for doing what my theatre history professor can't!!! You are saving my grade my good sir

What was the resistance movement that beckett was part of it?

Picckkkleeee Riiiiiick

Delightful video and overview. Thank you. Perfect topic for covid-19 day to day pandemic survival --and dare I say... flourishing. 😷🙏

LOVE Rugnetta! Especially since we are in the new Absurd!

Genet's political philosophy stuff is so good, one of the best radical writers from France imo

They won’t be teaching this in schools

The "lols"! hahaha. Brillant.

cup in noodles curtain! 🤣🤣 True to the genre! 🤣🤣..... Lol.

This is a great video. But can you please speak slower? Some of us know English but we're not Americans and can't speak that fast❤️thank you

Beckett is great but Brecht is next level.

Lull*
😂😂

I was onboard till that opening. So... 23 seconds. Give or take.

Theater of absurd: who cares or So what...

This & the previous episode, what superb analysis & commentary!! To convey so much in so few words (& minutes) is truly enviable. Thank you, thank you, thank you, & HELL YEAH! Well done,❤
