After his sentence was commuted he toured Europe with his play "The Cage." There in the 1970s he began his seven-year collaboration with Samuel Beckett serving as the playwrights assistant director on a production of "Waiting for Godot" in Berlin. Cluchey eventually persuaded Beckett to direct him in "Krapps Last Tape" and "Endgame" stagings he later remounted around the world. The two men collaborated with each other until Beckett's death in 1989. Clucheys life and work at San Quentin inspired John Hancocks 1997 prison drama Weeds starring Nick Nolte. Cluchey himself wrote and acted in a play "Rick and Sam" which chronicles his relationship with Beckett. He received an Obie Award for David Mamets "Edmund" a Singapore Festival Award for "Krapps Last Tape" and was the first American to receive Italy's prestigious Premio de la Crítica literary award.
