Podcast appearances and mentions of Samuel Beckett

 Remembering Frank StaggLast week marked 50 years of the death of Frank Stagg on hunger strike in Wakefield Prison, in England.  Events, including a black flag vigil and a march and rally were organised to remember the Mayo man. Gerry Kelly who was on hunger strike in England in the 1970s for over 206 days, during which he was force fed 167 times, gave the main oration in Ballina and spoke of Frank's great courage and commitment.I was in Long Kesh when Frank died on 12 February 1976 after 62 days on hunger strike. Britain's intransigence and in particular the obduracy of the then Home Secretary Roy Jenkins, ensured that Frank's fourth hunger strike would result in his death. As we walked around the Cage or sat in our cells the talk from when Frank embarked on his fast, was about his resolve and strength of character as on his own he faced the brutality of a British system determined to break him.Two years earlier we had watched as Frank's friend and comrade Michael Gaughan, another Mayo man, had died on hunger strike. Holy SmokeI used to smoke. I was very addicted to it. I smoked everything that was legal. I smoked a pipe for years. I liked the pipe. There is a certain ritual attached to pipe smoking. Filling your pipe requires special skills. It takes time. And care. Fill it too loosely and it will not last long. Too tightly and it will not burn at all. Most pipe smokers had a number of pipes. But there was always a favourite one. My favourites were invariably Kapp and Petersons. Particularly the bendy ones, favoured by Sherlock Holmes. Kapp and Peterson still have  a shop in Dublin. Kapp and Peterson gets honourable mention in Samuel Beckett's Waiting For Godot. In Belfast Miss Morans in Church Lane, which is still doing business, was a favoured supplier of pipes and good tobacco.Pipe tobacco is of course a matter of choice and taste. And addiction. I was inclined towards heavier brands like Condor. The I graduated to War Horse, particularly War Horse plug tobacco. The preparation of this type of pipe filler requires a pen knife for cutting off little slices of tobacco. These were then rubbed between your hands until they were reduced to the desired consistency. This added to the ritual. It was probably theraputic. If thats not a contradiction. Ditto  with the smell of pipe smoke. Back in the day pipe smokers were a fixed presence  in pubs and at most social gatherings. Many people, barely visible in the clouds of smoke, would declare how much they liked the smell. The death of Nora ComiskeyIt was with sadness that I heard of the death last week of Nora Comiskey. Many Dublin republicans and some of us from Belfast and other parts knew Nora over many years. She was a former president and long-time activist in the 1916-1921 Club. This was a unique institution founded in the 1940s whose aim was to try and bring together some of those who fought on the pro and anti- Treaty sides in the Civil War. Many did, including Nora who had been in Fianna Fáil. Its founding charter is the 1916 Proclamation and among its objectives are a commitment to honour those who fought for Irish Freedom and who work for its achievement. It also seeks to contribute to the cause of an Ireland — united, independent and sovereign 

Hey!I keep disappearing from this space.Just as I started to integrate the new information I wrote about last time, my scans showed (in the words of my breast surgeon), “This breast wants to make cancer.”January 28th, I had a mastectomy and DIEP flap reconstruction.My Frankenboob looks amazing. Almost like I went to a Build-a-Bear workshop.Except after my all-day Build-a-Boob workshop, I had a hemorrhage and lost a tremendous amount of blood. Getting a rapid blood transfusion was not fun - but I was feeling my good blood donor karma as they gave me bag after bag of O+. As they wheeled me into the OR they asked, do you have a health proxy form? Despite everything going on I asked, “Is it because you want to give them an update? Or because they may have to make a decision?” Awkward silence. “All of it,” she said.When I filled out my health proxy I never imagined actually needing it.My eternal optimist is in hiding.She got it wrong. I almost died.But I didn't.And now I'm mostly home recovering. I watched endless episodes of Long Lost Family. (British and American versions). My fetish was children put up by adoption by teenagers who ultimately ended up married and having families so when they are reunited they're a full-blood intact family. Perhaps that speaks to my own yearning for full-blood siblings and birth parents who remained a couple. I guess watching that show allowed me to sit with and nurse that interior wound along with the physical.I received TREMENDOUS support from friends - especially Anthony, David & Jackie who called/texted/came daily when I was the biggest mess. Jackie drove over a car full of “stuff” I'd need - like a one person mastectomy shower. Anthony took off work for two weeks and moved into our guest room and literally took care of me like a baby. I had decided to end the relationship just a few months before my recurrence and he still showed up in the most heroic way imaginable “milking my drains” multiple times a day for weeks. It was humbling really.Just wanted you to know this happened - that it's happening.And as for me? I am sick of writing everything like it's a fucking Editor's Letter. It's all so pat. This is what happened, this is the meaning behind it, and we all cheer in the end. I'm not cheering. I feel like I've been water boarded over the past few years. Every time I feel like I'm coming up for air, a big hand comes down and shoves my head under again. Divorce, Cancer, Your-father-was-not-your-father, Cancer. I don't feel bad or scared per say. I'm just sitting in this new space now that I can't define - Samuel Beckett called it The Unnamable. I am left without language worth sharing.I am just here. I will write again if I have something worth sharing or an update I think you would want to know, like today's letter to a friend, which is what you are. Thanks for that. Sending my love to you.xo atoosa This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit atoosa.substack.com

Dave McArthur discusses the modern Bill and Ted adaptation of the 1952 play Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett.

As he launches his new book about starring in Samuel Beckett's Godot opposite Ben Whishaw, Lucian Msamati sits down with Sarah and Alex to lift the lid on the mood behind the scenes, the behaviour of audiences and why theatre is still like gym for young actors Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Week 44 takes us firmly into the 20th century, with a strong Irish lineup: James Joyce's “The Dead" from The Dubliners, the opening of Ulysses, and Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot.Joyce surprised me—in the very best way. “The Dead” is rich, intimate, and beautifully written, capturing married love, memory, and Dublin itself as if the city were another character. The opening of Ulysses was stranger and more dreamlike, but not impenetrable; I'm no longer afraid of it, even if I'm not sure the whole novel is in my future.Beckett, on the other hand, infuriated me. Waiting for Godot struck me as deliberately empty, a meditation on meaninglessness that simply wasn't for me, even while I understand its cultural impact.This week underscored how much I've grown as a reader: more patient, more persistent, and open to genres I never imagined loving. Eight weeks to go—and I'm grateful for every page.Oh, and the answer to that question? Well, you'll just have to listen to find out.The beautiful videos can be found in my substack post!LINKTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)My Amazon Book List (NOT an affiliate link)CONNECTThe complete list of Crack the Book Episodes: https://cheryldrury.substack.com/p/crack-the-book-start-here?r=u3t2rTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/ LISTENSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5GpySInw1e8IqNQvXow7Lv?si=9ebd5508daa245bdApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crack-the-book/id1749793321 Captivate - https://crackthebook.captivate.fm

Energy’s brightest innovators. This is the Progress Powering tomorrow. Allen Hall: Mark and Turnt. Welcome to the show. Thank you.  Mark Patterson: Thank you.  Allen Hall: We’re in Scotland, present Scotland and per Scotland, which is a place most people probably haven’t ventured to in the United States, but it is quite lovely, although chilly and rainy. It’s Scotland. We’re in December. Uh, and we’re here to take a look at the SSE Training Center. And the remarkable things that active training team is doing here, because we had seen this in Boston in a smaller format, uh, about a year ago almost now.  Dermot Kerrigan: Just Yeah,  Allen Hall: yeah. Six months  Dermot Kerrigan: ago.  Allen Hall: Yeah. Yeah. It hasn’t been that long ago. Uh, but IC was on me to say, you gotta come over. You gotta come over. You gotta see the, the whole, uh, environment where we put you into the police room and some of the things we wanna talk about, uh, because it, [00:01:00] it does play different. And you’re right, it does play different. It is very impactful. And it, and maybe we should start off first of Mark, you’re the head of basically health and safety and environment for SSE here in Perth. This is a remarkable facility. It is unlike anything I have seen in the States by far. And SSE has made the commitment to do this sort of training for. Everybody in your employment and outside of your employment, even contractors.  Mark Patterson: We have been looking at some quite basic things in safety as everybody does. And there’s a fundamental thing we want to do is get everybody home safe. And uh, it’s easier said than done because you’ve gotta get it right for every single task, every single day. And that’s a massive challenge. And we have like 15,000. 15,000 people in SSE, we probably work with about 50,000 contract [00:02:00] partners and we’re heavily dependent, uh, on get our contract partners to get our activities done. And they’re crucial.  Speaker: Mm-hmm.  Mark Patterson: And in that it’s one community and we need to make sure everybody there gets home safe. And that’s what drove us to think about adding more rules isn’t gonna do it. Um, you need to give people that sense of a feeling, uh, when a really serious sense of cars and then equip them with tools to, to deal with it. So. We’ve all probably seen training that gives that sense of doom and dread when something goes badly wrong, but actually that needs to be. Coupled with something which is quite powerful, is what are the tools that help people have the conversations that gets everybody home safe. So kind of trying to do two things.  Allen Hall: Well, SSC is involved in a number of large projects. You have three offshore wind farms, about a more than a thousand turbines right now. Wind turbines onshore, offshore, and those offshore projects are not easy. There’s a lot of complexity to them.  Mark Patterson: Absolutely. So look, I I think [00:03:00] that’s, that’s something that. You’ve gotta partner with the right people. If you wanna be successful, you need to make it easy for people to do the right thing. Yeah, as best you possibly can. You need to partner with the right people, and you need to get people that you need to have a sense that you need to keep checking that as you’re growing your business. The chinks in your armor don’t grow too. But fundamentally there’s something else, which is a sense of community. When people come together to, to do a task, there is a sense of community and people work, put a lot of discretionary effort into to get, uh, big projects done. And in that, um, it’s a sense of community and you wanna make sure everybody there gets home safe to their friends and family. ’cause if we’re all being honest about it, you know, SSE is a brilliant company. What we do is absolutely worth doing. I love SC. But I love my family a fair amount more. And if you bought into that, you probably bought into the strategy that we’re trying to adopt in terms of safety. Uh, it’s really simple messaging. Um,  Allen Hall: yeah. That, that is very clear. Yeah. And it should be [00:04:00]well communicated outside of SSEI hope because it is a tremendous, uh, value to SSE to do that. And I’m sure the employees appreciate it because you have a culture of safety. What. Trigger that. How long ago was that trigger? Is this, this is not something you thought up yesterday for sure.  Mark Patterson: No, look, this, the, the, what we’ve done in the immersive training center, um, really reinforces a lot of things that we’ve had in place for a while, and it, it takes it to the, the next level. So we’ve been working probably more than 10 years, but, uh, certainly the. Seven years we’ve been talking very much about our safety family, that’s the community and SSE with our contract partners and what we need to do. And part of that is really clear language about getting people home safe. Uh, a sense that you’ve, everybody in it that works with us has a safety license. And that license is, if it’s not safe, we don’t do it. It’s not a rural based thing. It’s how we roll. It’s part of the culture. We’d, we, uh, have a culture where, and certainly trying to instill for everybody a culture. Where [00:05:00] they’ve got that license. If, if they think something’s not right, we’ll stop the job and get it right. And even if they’re wrong, we’ll still listen to them because ultimately we need to work our way through, right? So we’ve been, we’ve thought hard about the language we wanted to use to reinforce that. So the importance of plan, scan and adapt. So planning our work well, thinking through what we need to do. Not just stopping there though, keeping scanning for what could go wrong. That sense that you can’t remember everything. So you need to have immediate corrective actions and that immediate sort of see it, sort of report it. If you see something that isn’t right, do something about it. And that sense of community caring for the community that you work with. And those are the essence of our, our language on safety and the immersive training. Uh, is not trying to shove that language down everybody’s throats again, particularly our contract partners, but it’s, it’s helping people see some really clear things. One is if a [00:06:00] really serious incident occurs at what, what it feels like here. And I’ve spent a lot of time in various industries and people are different when they’ve been on a site or involved when there’s been a really serious incident and you need to do something to. Get that sense of a feeling of what it feels like and actually make people feel slightly uncomfortable in the process. ’cause that’s part of it,  Allen Hall: right? Yes.  Mark Patterson: Because you know,  Allen Hall: you remember that.  Mark Patterson: You remember that. Yeah. We’ve had, you know, we’ve had people say, well, I felt very uncomfortable in that bit of the training. It was okay. But was, I felt very uncomfortable. And you know, we’ve talked about that a lot.  Allen Hall: Yeah.  Mark Patterson: We know you kinda should because if there’s something wrong with you, if you don’t feel uncomfortable about that. But what’s super powerful on the guys in at TT do brilliantly. Is have facilitators that allow you to have that conversation and understand what do you need to do differently? How do you influence somebody who’s more senior? How do you, how do you bring people with you so that they’re gonna [00:07:00] do what you want ’em to do after you’ve left the building? And. Just pointing the finger at people and shouting at them. Never does that. Right? Uh, rarely does that. You’ve gotta get that sense of how do you get people to have a common belief? And,  Allen Hall: and I think that’s important in the way that SSE addresses that, is that you’re not just addressing technicians, it’s the whole chain. It’s everybody is involved in this action. And you can break the link anywhere in there. I wanna get through the description of why that. Process went through ATTs head to go. We need to broaden the scope a little bit. We need to think about the full chain from the lowest entry worker just getting started to the career senior executive. Why chain them all together? Why put them in the same room together? Yeah. Why do you do that?  Dermot Kerrigan: Well, behavioral safety or behavioral base safety kind of got a bad rep because it was all about. If we could just [00:08:00] make those guys at the front line behave themselves,  Allen Hall: then everything’s fine,  Dermot Kerrigan: then everything’s fine.  Allen Hall: Yes.  Dermot Kerrigan: But actually that’s kind of a, the wrong way of thinking. It didn’t work. I, I think,  Allen Hall: yeah, it didn’t work.  Dermot Kerrigan: What the mess, the central message we’re trying to get across is that actually operational safety is not just the business of operational people. It’s everybody’s business.  Allen Hall: Right.  Dermot Kerrigan: You know? Um, and. Yeah, everybody has a role to p play in that, you know? Right. So site based teams, back office support functions, everybody has a role to play. And, you know, there’s a strand in, in this scenario where, uh, an incident takes place because people haven’t been issued with the right piece of equipment. Which is a lifting cage.  Allen Hall: Yes.  Dermot Kerrigan: And there’s a whole story about that, which goes through a procurement decision made somewhere where somebody hit a computer and a computer said no because they’d asked for too many lifting cages when they, somebody could have said, you’ve asked for five lifting cages, it’s takes you over the procurement cap. Would four do it? [00:09:00] Yes, that would be fine. That would be fine. Yeah. As it is, they come to a crucial piece of operation. This incr this, you know, this crucial piece of kit simply isn’t there. So in order to hit the deadline and try and make people happy, two ordinary guys, two technicians, put two and two together, make five, and, and one of them gets killed, you know? Yeah. So it’s, we’re, we’re trying to show that, that this isn’t just operational people. It’s everybody’s business.  Mark Patterson: Well, that’s why we worked with you in this, because, um, we saw. Why you got it in terms of that chain? Um, so in, in the scenario, it’s very clear there’s a senior exec talking to the client and actually as SSE. We’re sometimes that client, we’ve got big principal contractors that are doing our big construction activities. We’ve got a lot in renewables and onshore and offshore wind obviously, but, and the transmission business and in thermal, so, uh, and distribution. So I’ll list all our businesses and including customer’s business, but we’ve got some big project activities where we’re the client sometime we’re the principal contractor [00:10:00] ourselves. And we need to recognize that in each chain, each link in that chain, there’s a risk that we say the wrong thing, put the wrong pressure on. And I think what’s really helpful is we have in the center that sort of philosophy here that we get everybody in together mixed up. Probably at least half of our board have done this. Our executive team have all done this. Um, people are committed to it at that level, and they’re here like everybody else sitting, waiting for this thing to start. Not being quite sure what they’re gonna go through in the day. Um, and it’s actually really important you’ve got a chief exec sitting with somebody who’s, um, a scaffolder. That’s really important. ’cause the scaffolder is probably the more likely person to get hurt rather than chief exec. So actually everybody seeing what it’s like and the pressures that are under at each level is really important.  Allen Hall: SSC is such a good example for the industry. I watched you from outside in America for a long time and you just watch the things that happened. [00:11:00] Here you go. Wow. Okay. SSC is organized. They know what they’re doing, they understand what the project is, they’re going about it. Mm-hmm. Nothing is perfect, but I, I think when we watch from the United States, we see, oh, there’s order to it. There’s a reason they’re doing these things. They’re, they’re measuring what is happening. And I think that’s one of the things about at t is the results. Have been remarkable, not just here, but in several different sites, because a TT touches a lot of massive infrastructure projects in the uk and the success rate has been tremendous. Remember? You wanna just briefly talk about that?  Dermot Kerrigan: Yeah. But we, we run a number of centers. We also run mobile programs, which you got from having seen us in the States. Um, but the first, uh, center that we, we, we opened was, was called. Epic, which stood for Employers Project Induction Center, and that was the Thames Tideway Tunnel Project, which is now more or less finished. It’s completed. And that was a 10 year project, 5 billion pounds. Allen Hall: Wow.  Dermot Kerrigan: Um, [00:12:00] and you know, unfortunately the fact is on, on that kind of project, you would normally expect to hurt a number of people, sometimes fatally. That would be the expectation.  Allen Hall: Right. It’s a complicated  Dermot Kerrigan: project, statistic underground. So, you know, we, and, and of course Tide, we are very, very. Very pleased that, uh, in that 10 year span, they didn’t even have one, uh, serious life-changing injury, uh, let alone a fatality. Um, so you know that that’s, and I’m I’m not saying that what ATTs work, uh, what we do is, is, is, is directly responsible for that, but certainly Epic, they would say Tideway was the cornerstone for the safety practices, very good safety practices that they, they put out. Uh, on that project, again, as a cultural piece to do with great facilities, great leadership on the part of the, of the, of the executive teams, et cetera, and stability. It was the same ex executive team throughout that whole project, which is quite unusual.  Allen Hall: No.  Dermot Kerrigan: Yeah. [00:13:00] Um, so yeah, it, it, it seems to work, you know, uh, always in safety that the, the, the, the tricky thing is trying to prove something works because it hasn’t happened. You know?  Allen Hall: Right, right. Uh, prove the negative. Dermot Kerrigan: Yeah. Um,  Allen Hall: but in safety, that’s what you want to have happen. You, you do know, not want an outcome.  Dermot Kerrigan: No, absolutely not.  Allen Hall: No reports, nothing.  Dermot Kerrigan: No. So, you know, you have to give credit to, to organizations. Organizations like SSE. Oh, absolutely. And projects like Tideway and Sted, uh, on their horn projects. Who, who have gone down this, frankly, very left field, uh, route. We we’re, you know, it is only in the last 10 years that we’ve been doing this kind of thing, and it hasn’t, I mean, you know, Tideway certainly is now showing some results. Sure. But, you know, it’s, it’s, it, it wasn’t by any means a proven way of, of, of dealing with safety. So  Mark Patterson: I don’t think you could ever prove it. Dermot Kerrigan: No.  Mark Patterson: And actually there’s, there’s something [00:14:00]fundamentally of. It, it kind of puts a stamp on the culture that you want, either you talked about the projects in SSE, we’ve, we’ve done it for all of our operational activities, so we’ve had about 9,000 people through it for SSE and so far about 2000 contract partners. Um, we’re absolutely shifting our focus now. We’ve got probably 80% of our operational teams have been through this in each one of our businesses, and, uh, we. We probably are kind of closing the gaps at the moment, so I was in Ireland with. I here guys last week, um, doing a, a mobile session because logistically it was kind of hard to come to Perth or to one of the other centers, but we’re, we’re gradually getting up to that 80%, uh, for SSE colleagues and our focus is shifting a bit more to contract partners and making sure they get through. And look, they are super positive about this. Some of them have done that themselves and worked with a TT in the past, so they’re. Really keen to, to use the center that we have [00:15:00] here in Perth, uh, for their activities. So when, when they’re working with us, we kind of work together to, to make that happen. Um, but they can book that separately with you guys. Yeah. Uh, in, in the, uh, Fastly Center too.  Allen Hall: I think we should describe the room that we’re in right now and why this was built. This is one of three different scenes that, that each of the. Students will go through to put some realism to the scenario and the scenario, uh, a worker gets killed. This is that worker’s home? Dermot Kerrigan: Yeah. So each of the spaces that we have here that, that they denote antecedents or consequences, and this is very much consequences. Um, so the, the, the participants will be shown in here, uh, as they go around the center, uh, and there’s a scene that takes place where they meet the grown up daughter of the young fella who’s been right, who’s been, who’s been tragically killed. Uh, and she basically asks him, uh, asks [00:16:00] them what happened. And kind of crucially this as a subtext, why didn’t you do something about it?  Allen Hall: Mm-hmm.  Dermot Kerrigan: Because you were there,  Allen Hall: you saw it, why it was played out in front of you. You saw, you  Dermot Kerrigan: saw what happened. You saw this guy who was obviously fast asleep in the canteen. He was exhausted. Probably not fit for work. Um, and yet being instructed to go back out there and finish the job, um, with all the tragic consequences that happen,  Allen Hall: right?  Dermot Kerrigan: But it’s important to say, as Mark says, that. It’s not all doom and gloom. The first part of the day is all about showing them consequences. Allen Hall: Sure. It’s  Dermot Kerrigan: saying it’s a,  Allen Hall: it’s a Greek tragedy  Dermot Kerrigan: in  Allen Hall: some  Dermot Kerrigan: ways, but then saying this doesn’t have to happen. If you just very subtly influence other people’s behavior, it’s  Allen Hall: slight  Dermot Kerrigan: by thinking about how you behave and sure adapting your behavior accordingly, you can completely change the outcome. Uh, so long as I can figure out where you are coming from and where that behavior is coming from, I might be able to influence it,  Allen Hall: right. Dermot Kerrigan: And if I can, then I can stop that [00:17:00] hap from happening. And sure enough, at the end of the day, um, the last scene is that the, the, the daughter that we see in here growing up and then going back into this tragic, uh, ending, uh. She’s with her dad, then it turned out he was the one behind the camera all along. So he’s 45 years old, she’s just passed the driving test and nobody got her 21 years ago. You know,  Mark Patterson: I think there, there is, there’s a journey that you’ve gotta take people through to get to believe that. And kind of part of that journey is as, as we look around this room, um, no matter who it is, and we’ve talked to a lot of people, they’ll be looking at things in this room and think, well, yeah, I’ve got a cup like that. And yes. Yeah. When my kids were, we, we had. That play toy for the kids. Yes. So there is something that immediately hooks people and children hook  Allen Hall: people.  Mark Patterson: Absolutely. And  Allen Hall: yes,  Mark Patterson: they get to see that and understand that this is, this is, this is, could be a real thing. And also in the work site, uh, view, there’s kind of a work site, there’s a kind of a boardroom type thing [00:18:00] and you can actually see, yeah, that’s what it kind of feels like. The work sites a little bit. You know, there’s scuffs in the, on the line, on the floor because that’s what happens in work sites and there’s a sense of realism for all of this, uh, is really important.  Allen Hall: The realism is all the way down to the outfits that everybody’s worn, so they’re not clean safety gear. It’s. Dirty, worn safety gear, which is what it should be. ’cause if you’re working, that’s what it should look like. And it feels immediately real that the, the whole stage is set in a, in the canteen, I’ll call it, I don’t know, what do you call the welfare area? Yeah. Okay.  Dermot Kerrigan: Yeah.  Allen Hall: Okay. Uh, wanna use the right language here. But, uh, in the states we call it a, a break room. Uh, so you’re sitting in the break room just minding your own business and boom. An actor walks in, in full safety gear, uh, speaking Scottish very quickly, foreign American. But it’s real.  Mark Patterson: I think  Allen Hall: it feels real because you, you, I’ve been in those situations, I’ve seen that that break the,  Mark Patterson: the language is real and, uh, [00:19:00] perhaps not all, uh, completely podcast suitable. Um, but when you look at it, the feedback we’ve got from, from people who are closer to the tools and at all levels, in fact is, yeah. This feels real. It’s a credible scenario and uh, you get people who. I do not want to be in a safety training for an entire day. Um, and they’re saying arms folded at the start of the day and within a very short period of time, they are absolutely watching what the heck’s going on here. Yes. To understand what’s happening, what’s going on. I don’t understand. And actually it’s exactly as you say, those subtle things that you, not just giving people that experience, but the subtle things you can nudge people on to. There’s some great examples of how do you nudge people, how do you give feedback? And we had some real examples where people have come back to us and said even things to do with their home life. We were down in London one day, um, and I was sitting in on the training and one of the guys said, God, you’ve just taught me something about how I can give feedback to people in a really impactful [00:20:00] way. So you, so you explain the behavior you see, which is just the truth of what the behavior is. This is what I saw you do, this is what happened, but actually the impact that that has. How that individual feels about it. And the example that they used was, it was something to do with their son and how their son was behaving and interacting. And he said, do you know what? I’ve struggled to get my son to toe the line to, to look after his mom in the right way. I’m gonna stop on the way home and I’m gonna have a conversation with him. And I think if I. Keep yourself cool and calm and go through those steps. I think I can have a completely different conversation. And that was a great example. Nothing to do with work, but it made a big difference to that guy. But all those work conversations where you could just subtly change your tone. Wind yourself back, stay cool and calm and do something slightly different. And I think that those, those things absolutely make a difference,  Allen Hall: which is hard to do in the moment. I think that’s what the a TT training does make you think of the re the first reaction, [00:21:00] which is the impulsive reaction. We gotta get this job done. This has gotta be done. Now I don’t have the right safety gear. We’ll, we’ll just do it anyway to, alright, slow. Just take a breather for a second. Think about what the consequences of this is. And is it worth it at the end of the day? Is it worth it? And I think that’s the, the reaction you want to draw out of people. But it’s hard to do that in a video presentation or  Dermot Kerrigan: Yeah.  Allen Hall: Those things just  Dermot Kerrigan: don’t need to practice.  Allen Hall: Yeah. It doesn’t stick in your brain.  Dermot Kerrigan: You need to give it a go And to see, right. To see how to see it happen. And, and the actors are very good. They’re good if they, you know. What, whatever you give them, they will react to.  Mark Patterson: They do. That’s one of the really powerful things. You’ve got the incident itself, then you’ve got the UNP of what happened, and then you’ve got specific, uh, tools and techniques and what’s really good is. Even people who are not wildly enthusiastic at the start of the day of getting, being interactive in, in, in a session, they do throw themselves into it ’cause they recognize they’ve been through [00:22:00] something. It’s a common sense of community in the room.  Dermot Kerrigan: Right.  Mark Patterson: And they have a bit of fun with it. And it is fun. Yeah. You know, people say they enjoy the day. Um, they, they, they recognize that it’s challenged them a little bit and they kinda like that, but they also get the opportunity to test themselves. And that testing is really important in terms of, sure. Well, how do you challenge somebody you don’t know and you just walking past and you see something? How do you have that conversation in a way that just gets to that adult To adult communication? Yeah. And actually gets the results that you need. And being high handed about it and saying, well, those are the rules, or, I’m really important, just do it. That doesn’t give us a sustained improvement.  Dermot Kerrigan: PE people are frightened of failure, you know? Sure. They’re frightened of getting things wrong, so give ’em a space where they, where actually just fall flat in your face. Come back up again and try again. You know, give it a go. And, because no one’s, this is a safe space, you know, unlike in the real world,  Allen Hall: right?  Dermot Kerrigan: This is as near to the real world as you want to get. It’s pretty real. It’s safe, you know, uh, it’s that Samuel Beckett thing, you know, fail again, [00:23:00] fail better,  Allen Hall: right?  Mark Patterson: But there’s, there’s a really good thing actually because people, when they practice that they realize. Yeah, it’s not straightforward going up and having a conversation with somebody about something they’re doing that could be done better. And actually that helps in a way because it probably makes people a little bit more generous when somebody challenges them on how they’re approaching something. Even if somebody challenges you in a bit of a cat handed way, um, then you can just probably take a breath and think this. This, this guy’s probably just trying to have a conversation with me,  Allen Hall: right. Mark Patterson: So that I get home to my family.  Allen Hall: Right.  Mark Patterson: It’s hard to get annoyed when you get that mindset. Mindset  Allen Hall: someone’s looking after you just a little bit. Yeah. It does feel nice.  Mark Patterson: And, and even if they’re not doing it in the best way, you need to be generous with it. So there’s, there’s good learnings actually from both sides of the, the, the interaction. Allen Hall: So what’s next for SSE and at t? You’ve put so many people through this project in, in the program and it has. Drawn great results.  Mark Patterson: Yeah.  Allen Hall: [00:24:00] How do you, what do you think of next?  Mark Patterson: So what’s next? Yeah, I guess, uh, probably the best is next to come. Next to come. We, I think there’s a lot more that we can do with this. So part of what we’ve done here is establish with a big community of people, a common sense of what we’re doing. And I think we’ve got an opportunity to continue with that. We’ve got, um, fortunate to be in a position where we’ve got a good level of growth in the business.  Allen Hall: Yes,  Mark Patterson: we do. Um, there’s a lot going on and so there’s always a flow of new people into an organization, and if people, you know, the theory of this stuff better than I do, would say that you need to maintain a, a sense of community that’s kind of more than 80%. If you want a certain group of people to act in a certain way, you need about 80% of the people plus to act in that way, and then it’ll sustain. But if it starts. To drift so that only 20% of people are acting a certain way, then that is gonna ex extinguish that elements of the culture. So we need to keep topping up our Sure, okay. Our, our [00:25:00] immersive training with people, and we’re also then thinking about the contract partners that we have and also leaving a bit of a legacy. For the communities in Scotland, because we’ve got a center that we’re gonna be using a little bit less because we’ve fortunate to get the bulk of our people in SSE through, uh, we’re working with contract partners. They probably want to use it for. For their own purposes and also other community groups. So we’ve had all kinds of people from all these different companies here. We’ve had the Scottish first Minister here, we’ve had loads of people who’ve been really quite interested to see what we’re doing. And as a result of that, they’ve started to, uh, to, to step their way through doing something different themselves. So,  Allen Hall: so that may change the, the future of at t also. And in terms of the slight approach, the scenarios they’re in. The culture changes, right? Yeah. Everybody changes. You don’t wanna be stuck in time.  Dermot Kerrigan: No, absolutely.  Allen Hall: That’s one thing at t is not,  Dermot Kerrigan: no, it’s not  Allen Hall: stuck in time.  Dermot Kerrigan: But, uh, I mean, you know, we first started out with the centers, uh, accommodating project. Yeah. So this would [00:26:00] be an induction space. You might have guys who were gonna work on a project for two weeks, other guys who were gonna work on it for six months. They wanted to put them through the same experience. Mm. So that when they weren’t on site. That they could say, refer back to the, the, the, the induction and say, well, why ask me to do that? You know, we, we, we both have that experience, so I’m gonna challenge you and you’re gonna accept challenge, et cetera. So it was always gonna be a short, sharp shock. But actually, if you’re working with an organization, you don’t necessarily have to take that approach. You could put people through a little bit of, of, of, of the training, give ’em a chance to practice, give ’em a chance to reflect, and then go on to the next stage. Um. So it, it becomes more of a, a journey rather than a single hard, a single event experience. Yeah. You don’t learn to drive in a day really, do you? You know, you have to, well, I do transfer it to your right brain and practice, you know?  Allen Hall: Right. The more times you see an experience that the more it’s memorable and especially with the, the training on how to work with others.[00:27:00] A refresh of that is always good.  Dermot Kerrigan: Yeah.  Allen Hall: Pressure changes people and I think it’s always time to reflect and go back to what the culture is of SSE That’s important. So this, this has been fantastic and I, I have to. Thank SSC and a TT for allowing us to be here today. It was quite the journey to get here, but it’s been really enlightening. Uh, and I, I think we’ve been an advocate of a TT and the training techniques that SSC uses. For well over a year. And everybody we run into, and in organizations, particularly in win, we say, you, you gotta call a TT, you gotta reach out because they’re doing things right. They’re gonna change your safety culture, they’re gonna change the way you work as an organization. That takes time. That message takes time. But I do think they need to be reaching out and dermo. How do they do that? How do, how do they reach att?  Dermot Kerrigan: Uh, they contact me or they contact att. So info at Active Trading Team, us.  Allen Hall: Us. [00:28:00] There you go.  Dermot Kerrigan: or.co uk. There you go. If you’re on the other side of the pond. Yeah. Allen Hall: Yes. And Mark, because you just established such a successful safety program, I’m sure people want to reach out and ask, and hopefully a lot of our US and Australian and Canadian to listen to this podcast. We’ll reach out and, and talk to you about how, what you have set up here, how do they get ahold of you? Mark Patterson: I’ll give you a link that you can access in the podcast, if that. Great. And uh, look. The, the risk of putting yourself out there and talking about this sort of thing is you sometimes give the impression you’ve got everything sorted and we certainly don’t in SSE. And if the second you think you’ve got everything nailed in terms of safety in your approach, then, then you don’t. Um, so we’ve got a lot left to do. Um, but I think this particular thing has made a difference to our colleagues and, and contract partners and just getting them home safe.  Allen Hall: Yes. Yes, so thank you. Just both of you. Mark Dermott, thank you so much for being on the podcast. We appreciate both [00:29:00] of you and yeah, I’d love to attend this again, this is. Excellent, excellent training. Thanks, Alan. Thanks.

En un tiempo marcado por la urgencia, la respuesta inmediata y la ansiedad de lo automático, esperar parece un gesto casi de resistencia. Sin embargo, desde hace más de setenta años, Esperando a Godot, de Samuel Beckett, insiste en detenerse, habitar el tiempo, sostener el vacío.Por estos días, una coproducción binacional entre Portugal y Uruguay vuelve a poner en escena una de las obras más influyentes del teatro contemporáneo. Interpretada por el histórico Teatro Experimental de Cascais —una de las compañías más longevas y prestigiosas de Europa—, la propuesta se presenta en formato bilingüe, con subtítulos, y dialoga con públicos de distintas tradiciones y lenguas.Luego de su paso por el MACA en Punta del Este y antes de llegar al Teatro Solís, donde tendrá cuatro funciones, conversamos con Iván Solarich, actor uruguayo que integra el elenco de esta versión dirigida por Flávia Gusmão. En la entrevista, Solarich reflexiona sobre la espera en tiempos de inmediatez, el desafío actoral de una obra donde “no pasa nada” y, al mismo tiempo, pasa todo, y la vigencia de Beckett como espejo del absurdo y de lo profundamente humano.Las funciones serán del jueves 22 al sábado 24 de enero a las 21:00 horas  y domingo 25 de enero a las 19:30 horas, en la Sala Zavala Muniz del Teatro Solís.Entradas en venta por Tickantel.

It's one of those roles which great actors have on their to-do list: Winnie in the play Happy Days by Samuel Beckett.  Winnie starts the play buried up to her waist in dirt. In Act 2 she's buried up to her neck! Acclaimed actor Pamela Rabe tell us what makes this such an iconic play and how she approached it as both co-director and star of Happy Days for the Sydney Theatre Company in 2025.In the play POV (Point of View), 11-year-old Bub directs a pair of adult actors on stage, to re-enact scenes from her life. There's a catch: it's the first time the actors have seen the script, and Bub is filming them for a documentary. This innovative work by collective re:group is all about how a kid experiences the mental illness of a parent. We chat to young actors Mabelle Rose and Edie Whitehead, who play Bub, and director Solomon Thomas.What if Celine Dion wasn't just the torch-bearing soundtrack to Titanic — but the main character? That's the premise of a hilarious musical parody called Titanique, which originated off Broadway and in 2025 proved very popular here in Australia. A cast of 11 joins The Stage Show, led by powerhouse Marney McQueen. First broadcast May 27, 2025.

More highlights from The Stage Show. We meet Irish screen and theatre actor Stephen Rea, who talks about meeting Samuel Beckett early in his career. Rea so wanted to perform Beckett's play Krapp's Last Tape, he had the foresight to record his youthful self reading it. In his  production at Adelaide Festival, the audience got to hear those recordings.We head Back Stage to the hat maker's studio! In fiction there are lots of characters who are famous for their hats. Robin Hood. Sherlock Holmes.  Lady Bracknell (she needs a ridiculous hat). In our new series Back Stage, Michael meets theatre milliner Phillip Rhodes, who reveals how hats bring a character to life. Butoh is a dance form that started in Japan in the 1950s and was called 'the dance of darkness'. Dancers often wear white body paint and explore raw psychological states. But it can also be outrageous and funny, as veteran performer Yumi Umiumare tells us about her own life practising Butoh. Yumi's latest show was Butoh Bar: Out of Order II for Asia TOPA. First broadcast March 4 2025.

The heirs of deceased playwrights can be finicky about new productions—Samuel Beckett, Arthur Miller—but the head of the Mint Theater has a different experience. "What I tend to run into from estates is, 'Really? You're interested in that old play? Great!'" How to revive neglected plays. Music: Sean Hagerty

We talked to the husband and wife team behind Mister & Mischief, Jeff and Andy Crocker! Jason talks to Jeff and Andy about their live, interactive, and immersive theatrical experiences. Based in L.A., Jeff and Andy share their extensive backgrounds working in television, indie films, special effects, and improv. They delve into their unique artistic practice that blends game design, theater, and themed entertainment. The couple also shares anecdotes about 'Escape from Godot,' an event that combines an escape room with Samuel Beckett's famous play, talk about their methods for creating engaging experiences that turn strangers into friends, and offer insights into how they develop projects. They even discuss effective note-taking and the importance of understanding the intrinsic promise of any creative project. https://misterandmischief.fun Instagram: @MisterandMischief, @ThereItIsPod, @JasonFarrPics  Facebook: @MisterandMischief, @ThereItIsPod  Threads: @ThereItIsPod, @JasonFarrPics Subscribe to our comedy newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/e22defd4dee2/thereitis

Welcome back to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING: A BRITISH SITCOM PODCAST. In this episode, your hosts Tony Black and Rob Turnbull discuss Bottom, the legendary violent cult comedy from 1991 to 1995 written by and starring Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson. Following the sad lives of Hammersmith residents Richard Richard and Edward Elizabeth Hitler, Bottom depicts two lazy, unemployed, perverted middle aged men beautifully. Richie wants to get laid. Eddie wants to drink. Both end up trapped in a hyper-real, comic-book Samuel Beckett world of nihilistic nonsense. How well has the stylised world Rik & Ade created held up over the last 30 years? Plus! Tony is joined by Paul Tanter, one of the co-authors of Talking Bottom: A Guide to the Cult Sitcom, to discuss the show, comedy and much more. We can honestly say they get deep inside Bottom and get the most out of it. Phwoaaaaar! Host/Editor A. J.

To celebrate, Lara Pawson, author of Spent Light, and Jennifer Hodgson, whose biography of Ann Quin is forthcoming, deliver their own tribute to Beckett's fiction, and discuss his life and work. ‘Oh the stories I could tell you if I were easy,' as Beckett wrote, ‘What a rabble in my head, what a gallery of moribunds.'

We LOVE Keanu Reeves and Samuel Beckett. So to celebrate Keanu being on Broadway right now in Samuel Beckett's “Waiting For God” with his “Bill & Ted” friend Alex Winter, Phil and David are bringing you a special “Naked Lunch” reheated with the highlights of Keanu's “Naked Lunch” recorded with his beloved Dogstar bandmates Bret Domrose & Robert Mailhouse.

It was the start of a long performing partnership and friendship.Adrian spoke to Lauren about the creative process behind the anarchic TV comedy and long-running touring show Bottom.You can listen to the full episode on BBC Sounds.

C'est l'histoire d'une fille qui n'est pas d'accord avec l'ordre social. Nos visages sont-ils des images, des devantures ? Notre attention est-elle devenue une propriété, comme les terrains ? Est-ce que quelque chose s'est cassé en nous ? De l'enfance à l'écriture, en passant par un bar mystérieux, une maison abandonnée, un immeuble rempli de sectes ou le sommet d'une montagne, la narratrice nous entraîne dans une odyssée parsemée de miroirs homériques, de chants d'aèdes qui nous montrent le livre en train de se faire. Les Forces reprend et détourne les motifs du roman d'apprentissage. Alternant le prosaïque et le théorique en un éclair, le livre se déploie dans une narration allant du tragique au comique. L'ensemble est porté par une nature perçue comme un flux incessant, une énergie vitale, dont chaque élément peut contenir la totalité. On pense à Fiodor Dostoïevski, à Samuel Beckett, à Simone Weil également dans son approche de la force. À lire – Laura Vazquez, Les forces, éd. du sous-sol, 2025

Steve Burns is best known for being the host of a beloved 90s children’s show, Blue’s Clues, so I didn’t expect this interview to be about Samuel Beckett. But it turns out that Steve and I share a deep admiration for the writer, as well as a lot of other common ground. Steve went quiet for about two decades after rumors of his death took over the internet, and now he’s back with a podcast (Alive, which just dropped September 17). The two of us talk about listening, what people didn’t appreciate about Pee-wee Herman, and the deep, lasting importance of Sesame Street. Steve has a lot of perspective, having stood both at the center and on the outside of important, formative media that influenced so many adults today.

️ La Teoría de la Mente – Episodio: “Fracasa mejor” Hoy exploramos una de esas frases que pueden cambiar nuestra perspectiva sobre el fracaso, la resiliencia y el sentido profundo de seguir intentándolo: "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better." Una frase de Samuel Beckett que, lejos de ser un simple eslogan motivacional, nos habla desde un lugar más oscuro, honesto y humano sobre lo que significa sentirse insuficiente y seguir adelante a pesar de todo. En este episodio reflexionamos sobre la biografía del propio Beckett —discípulo de James Joyce, ignorado durante años, resistente durante la guerra y creador de obras inmortales como Esperando a Godot— y cómo su historia personal impregna ese lema tan malinterpretado por el mundo del emprendimiento. ¿Realmente "fracasar mejor" es un peldaño hacia el éxito, como nos vende Silicon Valley? ¿O es más bien una invitación a convivir con nuestras grietas, a no ocultar los pedazos rotos, sino a integrarlos como parte de lo que somos? Descubriremos el origen etimológico de la palabra fracaso, viajaremos al universo del kintsugi japonés (el arte de reparar con oro) y reflexionaremos sobre cómo nuestras propias roturas pueden transformarse en una forma de sabiduría emocional y conexión con los demás.

THE SWIMMER (1968) We dive deep in to The Swimmer and discuss and analyze, maybe just a little bit the glorious film directed by Frank Perry, based on a screenplay by Eleanor Perry, from the 12 page short story by John Cheever. "Well-off ad man Ned Merrill (Burt Lancaster) is visiting a friend when he notices the abundance of backyard pools that populate their upscale suburb. Ned suddenly decides that he'd like to travel the eight miles back to his own home by simply swimming across every pool in town."If you're reading this I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support.

performed by Barry McGovern, and directed by Daniel Reardon. A Piece of Monologue is introduced by Gerry Dukes, whose stage adaptation, with Barry McGovern, of Beckett's post-war trilogy of novels as I'll Go On has played around the world.

The Old Tune is Samuel Beckett's free adaptation of La Manivelle/The Crank, a radio play by French writer, Robert Pinget.

This is the famous last line in one of Beckett's novels. But it's not just a last line, it's a credo for human existence!

Send us a textA clown stands alone… somewhere between Henry Miller and Samuel Beckett… somewhere between laughter and the cosmic void.Henry Miller once said, “A clown is a poet in action.” Today, that poet is Kangalee—the one-man actor and director—returning to the stage with a new mono-drama that refuses to stay in one world. Silent film. Revolutionary vaudeville. Delirious mime. Poetry. Nirvana.This is the modern holy fool—not Keaton, but Kangalee—struggling, leaping, breaking through to offer us something sacred.And for the first time in America, Henry Miller's most mysterious story comes alive on stage in Smile: A Clown's Ascension — based on The Smile at the Foot of the Ladder.This episode is a conversation with Kangalee! Please visit:Kangalee Arts EnsembleHM 21 SymposiumWith support form the Arts Council of Monterey CountySupport the show_________________________________________________This podcast is a production of the Henry Miller Memorial Library with support from The Arts Council for Monterey County!

Everyone who cares about something and is investing themselves in what they care about is leading. Leaders find much fulfillment in serving others.  Whether it's serving as a CEO or a parent, the most significant moments for leaders come when they are giving their gifts, abilities, passion, and creativity.  Leaders who pour out great energy doing what is fulfilling also need to refill.   *Leaders need to be able to receive restoration and replenishment so they can continue to serve well. They refill by being humble enough to know their limits, to recognize their needs, and to ask for help.    I have worked with leaders for more than thirty-five years. I have recognized five common pitfalls that block leaders from receiving the replenishment that is essential to lead well. These pitfalls can stymie a leader's passion and purpose. As a result, the people the leader wishes to help ultimately do not receive what they need.   Pitfalls of Leadership Life is full of struggle, and the struggle is not preventable. Samuel Beckett wrote, “You are on earth. There is no cure for that.” Life's struggles are inevitable, but the Pitfalls of Leadership are preventable.   The Five Pitfalls: Work becomes confused with one's worth. Performance begins to be valued more than one's presence. People become things. To be an example to others, the true self is isolated. Secrets sap one's passion and purpose.   These pitfalls can destroy careers, friendships, reputations, marriages and families—unless one is freed from them.    Everyone always wonders, “What happened to them? How did this self-destruction happen?”   These episodes on the “Pitfalls” are about preventing those questions from being asked. Whether you are a parent, a pastor, a plumber, or a pulmonologist, these episodes are for you.   These episodes are also about what to do when you find yourself in the “Pitfalls” or when the consequences have already impacted your life.   Hope in spite of the Pitfalls: The beauty of life and the beauty of God in our lives gives us the hope of: redemption recovery restoration   Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

My interview with NYPL Young Lion/5-Under-35 debut author Alexander Sammartino, on his novel Last Acts. We discussed: (1) the search for transcendence and "leaving your body" via literature; (2) father & son stories; and (3) unchecked Samuel Beckett fandom. All episodes of The Thoughtful Bro aired live originally on A Mighty Blaze. The Thoughtful Bro is proudly sponsored by Libro.fm and Writer's Bone.

This week I found myself reflecting on the simple yet powerful quote by Arthur Ashe: "Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can." This idea resonated deeply with me as I considered how often I overlook the tools and wisdom I already possess. Listen as I share my personal journey with starting over, the fears that come with trying new things, and the humor I find in my own missteps. Drawing inspiration from both Arthur Ashe and Samuel Beckett, I explore how failure isn't the end—it's part of learning, living, and growing. I hope this episode is a gentle reminder that the courage to begin, no matter where you are, is always within reach.Now That You Ask is a podcast that looks at topics that range from death to desire, and from wondrous to downright whacky. Join host, Akasha Halsey as she takes listeners on a journey through her writing and experience with life's most persistent questions.Thank you for listening!Listen to more episodes like this and subscribe to updates at https://nowthatyouaskpodcast.com
