The State University of New York

A story of a young boy and his pet boa. The boa gets loose in a library and gives the viewer a snake’s-eye view of the facilities. We also learn about snakes and other members of the reptile family.

The filmmakers accompany Alan Schneider, director of the American premieres of most of Beckett's plays, and producer Daniel Labeille to the home of Billie Whitelaw, whom Schneider, ironically, had never met previously, and takes us through the rehearsal process of Beckett's newest play, including the recording of the dialogue, as almost all of it is voiceover. The final fifteen minutes of the film are the premiere performance in its entirety.
