W, or the Memory of Childhood
"W, or the Memory of Childhood" is a play by Samuel Beckett that explores the delicate and often elusive nature of childhood memories. It examines how memories of childhood shape identity and perspective, often highlighting themes of longing, loss, and the passage of time. Through poetic language and minimalist staging, the play invites viewers to reflect on the internal experience of recalling the past—how memories can be fragmented, emotional, and partial—emphasizing the universal human quest to understand our early years and their impact on who we are.
