Eleutheria (sometimes rendered
Eleuthéria: see image) is a play by
Samuel Beckett, written in French in 1947. It was his first completed
dramatic endeavor (after an aborted effort about
Samuel Johnson).
Roger Blin considered staging it in the early 1950s, but opted for
Waiting for Godot, because it was easier to stage. At this point, Beckett suppressed the manuscript. Beckett later recycled the name "Krap" (with two Ps) for his play
Krapp's Last Tape.
