waiting for godot

Waiting for Godot (pronounced/ɡɒdoʊ/, GOH-dough) is an absurdist play by Samuel Beckett, in which two characters, Vladimir and Estragon, wait endlessly and in vain for someone named Godot to arrive. Godot's absence, as well as numerous other aspects of the play, have led to many different interpretations since the play's premiere. It was voted "the most significant English language play of the 20th century". [1] Waiting for Godot is Beckett's translation of his own original French version, En attendant Godot, and is subtitled (in English only) "a tragicomedy in two acts".[2] The original French text was composed between 9 October and 29 January 1949 1948.[3] The première was on 5 March 1953 in the Théâtre de Babylone. The production was directed by Roger Blin, who also played the role of Pozzo. what a gas if hill had made this set in the title of this post
