[NEohioPAL] Cesear's Forum to present Samuel Beckett's ALL THAT FALL

[Robert Hawkes]

*How cool is that.

For some years, as a youngster, I imagined that All That Fall meant "during
that entire autumn". The French title, "Tous ceux qui tombent" makes it
clear: "All those who fall" - i.e. all of us.

Too bad we don't listen to plays on the radio any more - but a "reading"
like this could be a real treat.
