Rough for theatre I and II and why they stayed that way, or when Beckett's french theatre became irish again

Résumé

Rough for theatre 1 and 2 represent a turning point in Beckett's career as a bilingual playwright. They are the last plays Beckett wrote in French, and, as their titles suggest, they remained unfinished. After the failure of the Roughs, Beckett's theatre evolved towards the very characteristic late plays. These were indubitably influenced by Beckett's incursion into the genres of radio and mime. For these later plays, English was the most appropriate language, for undeniable practical reasons, but also because these plays fit into the Irish theatrical tradition in ways in which the Roughs failed to.
