Gerry Duke's stage adaptation, with Barry McGovern, of Beckett’s post-war trilogy of novels as I’ll Go On, premiered in the Gate Theatre in 1985. When it toured to Paris the following year, it created an opportunity to meet the man himself.

The programme features short excerpts from the novels, 'Molloy’, ‘Malone Dies’ and The Unnameable, read by Barry McGovern, from the CD box set, Samuel Beckett, Three Novels, produced by RTÉ and the Lannan Foundation in 2006 with Tim Lehane as producer. Included in the box set is an illustrated booklet on the writer’s life and work, also written by Gerry Dukes.
