Summary

Words, called Bob, and Music, called Joe, are forced to collaborate bythe club-wielding Croak. Under duress they produce two of the most exquisite lyric poems ever written by Samuel Beckett. The play is often understood as being about the agonizing difficulties of the creative processitself. Accompanying documentary features interviews with experts on Beckett.
