Rockaby - Samuel Beckett, starring Billie Whitelaw, director: Alan Schneider (1981) - YouTube

A short play by the genius and the wonderful actress Billie Whitelaw.



It was written in English in 1980 on behalf of Programs in the Arts, State University of New York, for a festival and symposium in commemoration of Beckett's 75th birthday. A documentary film, Rockaby, by D. A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus records the rehearsal process and the first performance (this video).
