It is evident from that last remark that Beckett meant his play to stand as an ironic comment on "Oh! Calcutta!" But someone tampered with the text, and added a stage direction to include naked people to the miscellaneous rubbish. When the book of "Oh! Calcutta!" was published by Grove Press, not only was this unauthorised addition added, but Beckett’s name was the only author listed and attached to one of the pieces, despite the agreement that the authors would be anonymous. On top of that, the photograph on the page that faced Beckett's script showed the naked bodies.
