From an inauspicious beginning at the tiny Left Bank Theatre de
Babylone in 1953, followed by bewilderment among American and
British audiences, Waiting for Godot has become one of the most
important and enigmatic plays of the past fifty years and a
cornerstone of twentieth-century drama. As Clive Barnes wrote,
"Time catches up with genius. . . . Waiting for Godot is one of the
masterpieces of the century." Beckett wrote the play in French and
then translated it into English himself. In doing so he chose to
revise and eliminate various passages. With side-by-side text, the
reader can experience the mastery of Beckett's language and explore
its nuances. Upon being asked who Godot is, Samuel Beckett told
director Alan Schneider, "If I knew, I would have said so in the
play." Although we may never know who we are waiting for, in this
special edition we can rediscover one of the most poignant and
humorous allegories of our time.
