Sam Beckett, playwrite bust in high density plaster, antique white on distressed wood base

Anyone who opens this up knows who Sam is, or they should check Wikipedia. Existentialist playwrite, craggy face, Irishman lived in Paris during the War with the likes of Sartre and Gide.... glad to have added him to the collection.

The quote on his back in French means, "when you're up to your neck in shit the only thing to do is sing!"
