Waiting for Godot

A country road. A tree. Evening. Vladimir and Estragon meet as dusk approaches. Estragon tries to remove his boot. Vladimir examines his hat. A conversation begins, a joke is interrupted. A carrot is eaten. The two men quarrel, then embrace. Unannounced, two eccentric travellers arrive. Seemingly master and servant, one stands weighed down at the end of a long rope, the other carries a whip.

So begins Samuel Beckett’s sixty-year-old masterpiece ‘Waiting For Godot’, a ground-breaking, anarchic meditation on the meaning of life and death. Part allegory, part burlesque,

Beckett’s unique, timeless play moves seamlessly between absurdist comic sketch and

captivating philosophical drama.

In 1999, it was voted the most significant English language play of the 20th Century.
