They Do Not Move

In the Guardian (UK) today, I write about the parallels between Dieter Dorn's production of Tristan und Isolde at the Met and one of the most influential dramatists of the 20th century:

On the face of it, there couldn't be two more different theatre artists than Richard Wagner and Samuel Beckett. Beckett himself cared very little for Wagner. But Dieter Dorn's production of Tristan und Isolde, recently restaged at New York's Metropolitan Opera, suggests there may be more to the comparison than meets the eye.
