This book investigates the themes of female entrapment and the feminine gaze and explores how they function as theatrical metaphors in later Beckett plays. It offers a new perspective on love between Beckettian women, interrogating the trope of bodily sickness and its manifestations on stage and analysing how this relates to queer drives in women.
