FOOTFALLS by SAMUEL BECKETT at the CITIZENS THEATRE GLASGOW

"It All" was a title Beckett thought of using for this play.Along with the many Themes associated with the playwright a strong one in this performance is one of perennial unresolved issues that never quite leave no matter how you try and always come back to haunt when inner peace and tranquility are on the seeming cusp.

Can one , and how done one lay the Ghosts of the past , and if they do not will the same recurring theme always prevent harmony and happiness.

Music and Communication are ever-present in this play like a metronome and the semblance trace of conversation between Daughter and Mother.

The message of the play is that you have to be truly Alive in all senses of the word before you can conquer a deadened sad Heart and replace it with Happiness.
