Biography

Born in Russia, stage director Alan Schneider worked primarily in the U.S., and was best known for interpreting the plays of Samuel Beckett. Schneider made very infrequent ventures into cinema, the best-known being Film (1965), an experimental silent movie written by Beckett, made in 1964 with Buster Keaton. Schneider corresponded with Samuel Beckett for many years; ironically, and tragically, he was struck and killed by a motorcycle in London while crossing the street to post a letter to Beckett.
