Come and Go

  • Ester Mangas
The soft light from above dimly illuminates three motionless

figures. Flo, Vi, and Ru—friends since childhood—are sitting

side by side on a narrow bench-like seat.

Come and Go is skeletal drama of a very remarkable kind: a

five-act Shakespearean tragedy played in three minutes by

three ghosts playing with three echoes—Beckett’s art of allu­

sion at its most delicate and its most cunning.
