FTT is pleased to announce that Matthew McFrederick, a PhD student on the three year AHRC funded project ‘Staging Beckett: The Impact of Productions of Samuel Beckett’s Drama on Theatre Practice and Cultures in the United Kingdom and Ireland’ has been awarded an AHRC International Placement to undertake research at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Centre at Austin Texas. During October and November this year Matthew will be making use of the Centre’s archive on Samuel Beckett, together with its holdings on the English Stage Company (Royal Court). Matthew’s time in the archive will primarily be spent investigating the longstanding relationship Samuel Beckett had with this particular theatre.
