Waiting for Godot

A Tragicomedy in Two Acts

Samuel Beckett

This iconic play follows two homeless men, Vladimir and Estragon, as they wait for someone or something called Godot. Beckett’s masterful language captures an existential post-WWII Europe, with a comical wordplay of poetry, dreams, and nonsense. Waiting for Godot has become a cornerstone of twentieth-century drama and an allegory of mankind's search for meaning.

Have recently come to appreciate the awesome, absurdist humor of Waiting for Godot. We so often wait, without knowing why, when or where.      source
