Beckett's Centenary in Dublin

Interesting article concerning the month long arts festival in Dublin, commemorating the 100th birthday of Samuel Beckett. He's known for such plays as "Waiting for Godot" and "Endgame".

Dublin is hosting a wealth of plays, films, paintings, sculpture and music throughout April to mark the life of its Nobel laureate son, who was born on April 13, 1906 and died in 1989. The city kicked off its celebrations by projecting the playwright, novelist and poet's words onto several Dublin landmarks on Monday. The light show, which runs for five nights, was arranged by the American conceptual artist Jenny Holzer.
