Texts for Nothing
Work
At the suggestion of Samuel Beckett, Texts for Nothing was adapted for the stage by Joseph Chaikin and Steven Kent in 1981. The piece was first performed in 1981 at the New York Shakespeare Festival, as well as in London, Paris, Toronto and San Francisco.;"Stories and Texts for Nothing" is a collection of stories by Samuel Beckett. It gathers three of Beckett's short stories ("The Expelled," "The Calmative," and "The End", all written in 1946) and the thirteen short prose pieces he named "Texts for Nothing" (1950–1952). All of these works are collected in the Grove Press edition of Beckett's complete short prose. They were originally written in French and published in 1955 by Les Éditions de Minuit as Nouvelles et Textes pour rien, with a second edition illustrated edition published by the same publisher in 1958.
All three stories deal with the displacement or expulsion of old men who are forced to leave their modest lives in search of a new niche where they might fit.
