Michael Colgan (artistic director of the Gate Theater, Dublin) assembled 19 different directors to film all of Samuel Beckett’s 19 plays. A formidable task which pays off handsomely with some and not so well with others. Among my faves are ‘Rough For Theater I’ and ‘Waiting For Godot’,

I’ve always been curious about this collection, especially David Mamet’s “Catastrophe,” starring nonagenarian John Gielgud and future Nobel-winner Harold Pinter. (Rebecca Pidgeon is the Director’s Assistant…hmm, I wonder how she got that job.) I’ve read a few articles that chastise Mamet’s staging. So my question is, any good?
