        Ships In the Night: Beckett & Brecht Location: St McArthur's Hall, Methodist Church Date: Sat 24 Aug Time: 8pm Price: £10/£8 Duration: 60 mins approx. In a special festival commission, Tariq Ali explores how Samuel Beckett and Bertold Brecht, though different in many ways, had to confront similar problems when midnight gripped the twentieth century. Brecht fled Hitler’s Germany and went into exile, first within Europe, later the United States. Beckett, unable to settle intellectually in the Irish colony of the British Empire or its Catholic-nationalist offspring, moved to Paris where he had to confront the German occupation and the Vichy collaborationist regime. Both writers were resisters. How did it affect their work in a period where politics and culture were difficult to separate? What might a conversation between the two men in 1943 have been like?         at 09:59
