albee once said "i am not interested in living in the city where there isn't a production by samuel beckett running." a ground breaking production of "all that fall", a play beckett wrote for radio, arrives in new york this week following a run in london. joining me today, the director and the two main characters. all three legends of the theater. sir trevor nunnd is artistic director at the theater royal having previously served with the royal shakespeare company and the national theater. he also directed the enormously successful musicals "cats," "starlight express" and "les miserables". dame eileen atkins has lit up the stage since she joined the royal shakespeare company in 1957. since then she's won three olivier awards as well as an empty and bafta for her performance in "krapb ford." sir michael bam bone is quite simply called the great bam bone." he was tkrebg selected by sir lawrence olivier and considered one of the greatest living stage actors also well known for playing albus dumbledore in the harry potter movies. i'm pleased to have them here with me at this table. welcome. her

the plays are samuel beckett's "waiting for godot" and harold pinter's "no-man's-land." i'm pleased to have them here at this table. welcome. >> thank you very much. >> rose: other than these are two great playwrights, two great actors, two friends and the playwrights were friends so all this friendship we'll talk about. how did this come together. whose bright idea was it to do all this? >> >> we'd dondo doe in london and on tour about five years and on the last night in london i now famously collapsed in tears. >> rose: cried. >> not like me at all. i think it was that the audience that particular night had been so receptive to the play and i neurowhy i was an actor, it was to entertain people and i said "i don't think i'll before as happy again." and it was because of our friendship and the success of the production. so when it was rumored that we might do it again-- and we'd always want to bring it to new york-- i was very speedy and said yes. but pat introduced the idea of the other play. >> i saw it in 1975 when it was first formed -- performed be john'll go gud. i
