One of the hottest shows currently in New York is All T hat Fall, a 1957 radio play by Samuel Beckett. Director Trevor Nunn has managed to persuade the notoriously strict Beckett estate keepers to allow him to stage it more visually than usually. The buzz is less a case of the play's the thing than the starry leads, Sir Michael Gambon and Dame Eileen Atkins. The bucolic flavor and bawdy humor include this simile with which Atkins's Mrs. Rooney describes herself.
Oh, let me just flop down flat on the road like a big fat jelly out of a bowl and never move again.
