      ab: Presents an interview with playwright Eugene Ionesco. On being asked about when he became aware of his vocation as a writer, he replied "I always had been. When I was nine, the teacher asked us to write a piece about our village fete. He read mine in class. I was encouraged and continued. I even wanted to write my memoirs at the age of ten. At twelve I wrote poetry, mostly about friendship 'Ode to Friendship?' Then my class wanted to make a film and one little boy suggested that I write the script." On being asked: "Apart from the central theme of death and the black humor which you share with the other two dramatists, there is an important oneiric, or dreamlike, element in your work. Does this suggest the influence of surrealism and psychoanalysis?" He replied that "None of us would have written as we do without surrealism and dadaism. By liberating the language, those movements paved the way for us. But Beckett's work, especially his prose, was influenced above all by Joyce and the Irish Circus people."
