Born in colonized Ireland just after the turn of the twentieth century, Samuel Beckett wrote about how power works, and how it works on people -- especially the dispossessed and the destitute. His own experience hiding from the Gestapo in the French countryside surfaces in most famous play, Waiting for Godot (1953).

Time Passes presents eight short plays written after Godot, from the late 1950s to the early 1980s. Showcasing Beckett's verbal play and visual precision, as well as his political imagination, they meet our own moment -- fierce, funny, uncompromising, and compassionate as ever.
