The Impossible Itself

The Impossible Itself is a 2010 documentary film produced and directed by Jacob Adams to cover the 1957 San Francisco Actors Workshop production of the Samuel Beckett stage play Waiting For Godot that was taken to San Quentin Prison and performed before its inmates, with an examination of an earlier incarnation of Godot as performed by inmates at the Luttringhausen Prison in Germany in 1953.

The film was dealt a budgetary setback by Swedish theatre director Jan Jonson in 2001 when Adams had travelled to NYC to meet Jonson for an interview. Jonson failed to show and the travel expenditures cost the project 2,000. Production was then suspended until 2006 before continuing with funds provided through the directors student loans. In total, it tookyears to complete all the interviews and editing. The films original version was completed in 2008.The film documents the 1957 San Francisco Actors Workshop production of the Samuel Becketts play Waiting For Godot which was performed live before inmates at San Quentin Prison. The film also examines a 1953 performance of Godot by inmates at the Luttringhausen Prison in Germany, providing new scholarship material on those performances. ........
