In 1958, Samuel Beckett asserted that his one-act play Krapp’s Last Tapeis non-radiogenic. And yet, it was through this play that the Greek state radio (EIR) introduced Beckett’s dramatic output to Greek audiences in 1961 – that is, two years before the play was staged by Karolos Koun’s Art Theatre. This article examines this radio adaptation, created by the playwright Vassilis Ziogas (1937–2001), a unique voice in Greek post-war drama who studied theatre and cinema in Vienna and was influenced by surrealist and absurdist theatre. It contributes to a deeper understanding of EIR’s international outlook in the early 1960s, as evidenced by the cutting-edge productions of its Drama Department. It shows that, apart from forming its own canon by exploiting the medium’s codes, EIR’s Drama Department was engaged in a reflexive dialogue with the avant-garde theatre of its day, introducing to Greek listeners an array of key modernist playwrights (e.g. Beckett, Ionesco, Frisch, Dürrenmatt).

Abstract:Efforts to unravel the strands of philosophy and literature in Samuel Beckett’s work have marked each phase of its critical reception. While the archival turn in scholarship has shed valuable light on Beckett’s debts to philosophy, it has also exposed the rift between the epistemological assumptions of scholars and Beckett’s philosophy of ignorance. I argue that Beckett’s tragic view of philosophy took literary shape as a species of metaphysical horror, Leszek Kolakowski’s term for the failed quest for the absolute in Western thought. Beckett’s legacy is then viewed in a postsecular context as negative theodicy, the struggle to come to grips with the ethical and anthropological consequences of metaphysical horror.
