By Samuel Beckett
The Lost Ones Premiere:1975 Theater for the New City By Samuel Beckett Adapted and Directed by Lee Breuer Music Composed and Performed by Philip Glass WITH David Warrilow Linda (Hartinian) Wolfe Bill Raymond Ellen McElduff Samuel Beckett gave permission to Mabou Mines to stage The Lost Ones through the playwright Jean Reavey, who was a close friend of the author, on the condition that it was only a "straight reading". During rehearsals, the reading expanded into a fully realized production directed by Lee Breuer with David Warrilow performing the text in a dark, foam rubber cylindrical space with tiny HO scale plastic figures and ladders. The music was composed by Philip Glass. Beckett later wrote to Reavey, "Sounds like a crooked straight reading to me."
