Some great abstract images and close ups. The reference to Beckett is the close up of the mouth. The women in his play, for example the brilliant "Happy Days" and "Not I" (I saw in London, directed by Beckett in the middle 70's) indicates strong female roles.
I think your film suggests the marginalisation of women in the production of plays. With some great shots and strong politican statements.
A film that would strongly reference Beckett (I did a thesis on Beckett at university) would be a close up of a mouth and a string of dialogue with almost no breath.
"Happy Days" is one of the most impressive plays I've ever seen, funny, sad, astonishing; a representation of a woman passing her time as she rifles through her hand bag. Much like the two tramps in "Waiting for Godot" just passing their time whilst trying to entertain the audience.
