No modern play in the western dramatic tradition has provoked as
much controversy or generated as much diversity of opinion as
Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. Since its initial production in
1953, it has revolutionized the stage throuugh its ostensibly
plotless form. It continues to be performed and is widely studied
by high school students, undergraduates, and scholars. This guide
conveniently introduces the play and synthesizes the vast body of
critical reactions to it. The initial chapters summarize the play
and discuss its origins and editions. The guide then looks at the
cultural, historical, and intellectual contexts surrounding
Beckett's work. It then analyzes Beckett's dramatic art and gives
full coverage of the play's performance history. A concluding
bibliographical essay surveys the growing body of scholarship on
this important work.
