Overview

In Waiting for Godot, two wandering tramps, Vladimir and Estragon, wait by a lonely tree, to meet up with Mr. Godot, an enigmatic figure in a world where time, place and memory are blurred and meaning is where you find it. The tramps hope that Godot will change their lives for the better. Instead, two eccentric travelers arrive, one man on the end of the other's rope. The results are both funny and dangerous in this existential masterpiece.

What People are Saying About This

"it is the quintessence of 'extentialism.'..."

"It is possible that consciously or unconsciously Beckett is restating the moral and sexual basis of Christianity which was lost with Christ..."
