Abstract
Most of Beckett's texts are difficult to strictly classify into one 'genre'. In order to put light on the mechanisms that establish a connection between drama and novel in Beckett's work, I would like to explore the problem of stage directions, of which the first and essential aim is to ensure the scenic performance of a play, but to which the author may give a complexity that cannot be reduced to this function alone. After a short presentation of the general problematics of the matter, I try to analyse the stage directions of a play that Beckett himself directed several times and about which he left numerous instructions in his production notebooks.
