''Eh Joe'' is a piece for television, written in English by Samuel Beckett, his first work for the medium. It was begun on the author’s fifty-ninth birthday, 13 April 1965, and completed by 1 May. “It () followed by six undated typescripts (numbered 0 - 4 and ‘final version’).”〔Pountney, R., ''Theatre of Shadows: Samuel Beckett’s Drama'' 1956-1976 (Gerrards Cross: Colin Smythe, 1988), p 130〕 Despite the English version being recorded first, due to delays at the BBC, the first actual broadcast was of Elmer and Erika Tophoven’s〔Knowlson, J., ''Damned to Fame: The Life of Samuel Beckett'' (London: Bloomsbury, 1996), p 535〕 German translation, ''He Joe'', on 13 April 1966, Beckett’s sixtieth birthday, by Süddeutscher Rundfunk, Stuttgart; Beckett directed, his first credit as such. Deryk Mendel played Joe and Nancy Illig voiced the woman. The first English broadcast went out eventually on BBC2 (4 July 1966) with Jack MacGowran, for whom the play was specifically written, playing Joe (originally ‘Jack’〔Knowlson, J., ''Damned to Fame: The Life of Samuel Beckett'' (London: Bloomsbury, 1996), p 534〕 at the start of the first draft) and Siân Phillips as Voice. Beckett had asked for Billie Whitelaw but she was tied up with another acting commitment. Alan Gibson directed but with Beckett in attendance. At least thirteen versions have been preserved on tape making it far and away Beckett’s most produced teleplay.〔Marius Buning et al., (Eds.) ''Beckett Versus Beckett (Samuel Beckett Today/Aujourd'hui 7)'' (Amsterdam:Rodopi, 1998), p 106〕 It was first published in ''Eh Joe and Other Writings'' (Faber, 1967) – although the version published is closer to Typescript 3, mentioned above, than the version as broadcast.〔Pountney, R., ''Theatre of Shadows: Samuel Beckett’s Drama'' 1956-1976 (Gerrards Cross: Colin Smythe, 1988), p 132〕 ==The characters== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eh Joe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
