Performed across the globe by some of the world's most iconic
performers, Samuel Beckett's indelible masterpiece remains an
unwavering testament of what it means to be human. 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 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." The story revolves around two seemingly homeless men
waiting for someone--or something--named Godot. Vladimir and
Estragon wait near a tree, inhabiting a drama spun of their own
consciousness. The result is a comical wordplay of poetry,
dreamscapes, and nonsense, which has been interpreted as mankind's
inexhaustible search for meaning. Beckett's language pioneered an
expressionistic minimalism that captured the existential post-World
War II Europe. His play remains one of the most magical and
beautiful allegories of our time.
