Faber published occasional verse drama from 1935 (when <em><a href="https://www.faber.co.uk/product/9780571362790-murder-in-the-cathedral/">Murder in the Cathedral</a></em> appeared), a dedicated drama list was only launched two decades later; and its beginning can be dated quite precisely to the autumn of 1955.</h5> <p>The story of this ‘dramatic moment’ begins with <a href="https://www.faber.co.uk/author/samuel-beckett/">Samuel Beckett</a>’s <em><a href="https://www.faber.co.uk/product/9780571244591-waiting-for-godot/">Waiting for Godot</a></em>, which opened in London on 3 Aug 1955. As in Paris, it had a remarkable reception and, after an opening run at the Arts Theatre, transferred to the Criterion. After seeing it, Charles Monteith, a young Faber editor – who had already made his mark by publishing <a href="https://www.faber.co.uk/author/william-golding/">William Golding</a>’s <a href="https://www.faber.co.uk/product/9780571191475-lord-of-the-flies/"><em>Lord of the Flies</em></a> – described it as ‘a very odd and remarkable piece of work’. He did what no other publisher had done and wrote to Beckett’s agent on 9 Sept 1955 to enquire if the rights to publish it as a book were still available. They were, and Faber’s edition of <em>Godot</em>, translated by the author, was published on 10 February 1956.</p> <p>The book’s blurb noted that ‘its chief themes are madness, boredom, suffering, cruelty; yet the effect of its inspired cross-talk is hilarious’. Six days later Monteith wrote again to Beckett, telling him the book of <em>Waiting for Godot</em> was doing very well indeed, ‘selling fast and exciting much interest and discussion everywhere’.</p> <p>The text used for the publication of Godot was that authorised for stage performance by the Lord Chamberlain’s department (as theatrical censorship still operated in 1955). In later letters to Monteith, Beckett continued to regret the censorship of Godot which made some passages meaningless, but he hoped that sooner or later Faber might be able to print the complete version. This indeed became possible in the more liberal climate of the early 1960s; and a new edition was finally advertised early in 1965: ‘this new edition, complete and unexpurgated, has been authorised by Mr Beckett as definitive.’</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="journal-text-block_2" class="section-st"> <div class="container grids-txt"> <div class="grd-txt grd-txt_center-alone"> <div class="grd-txt__item txt-bl"> <p>Less than a year after approaching Beckett, Charles Monteith wrote a similar letter to the young <a href="https://www.faber.co.uk/author/john-osborne/">John Osborne</a> on 7 June 1956 about his equally provocative first play: ‘I’m pretty certain that lots of publishers must have written to you already; but in case they haven’t, may I say how very delighted I should be if I could have the opportunity of discussing with you the publication of your work? I saw <a href="https://www.faber.co.uk/product/9780571038480-look-back-in-anger/"><em>Look Back in Anger</em></a> last night; and I haven’t enjoyed an evening in the theatre so much for a very long time indeed. My sincerest congratulations on it.’ No other firm had in fact approached the dramatist. When it appeared early in 1957 Osborne wrote to say how delighted he was with the book, which he thought first-rate.</p> <p>After such a wonderful start to the Faber drama list in 1955–1957, a falling-off in quality might have been expected. Such has been the vibrancy of theatrical life in London, however, allied to the very evident desire of dramatists to see their work in print, that this did not happen. To get a sense of that ongoing tradition one can bring to mind Faber editions of the first successful plays of later great dramatists: <a href="https://www.faber.co.uk/author/tom-stoppard/">Tom
