Abstract
This paper seeks to present an historical overview of the Studio Players’ Beckett productions in Turkey in the 1990s, with the purpose of discussing the playwright’s role for the director Sahika Tekand during the development of her “performative staging and acting” method. After examining the Studio Players’ Oedipus Trilogy (2002/2004/2006), with which the ensemble achieved international recognition, the article will conclude with a focus on a Beckett production—Play (2012)—that Tekand directed in the Istanbul Municipality Theatre for the Istanbul Theatre Festival, so as to provide an account of the director’s first experience in working with actors outside her company.
