SAMUEL BECKETT - GEBRAUCHT WAITING FOR GODOT A ...

From an inauspicious beginning at the tiny Left Bank Theatre de Babylone in 1953  followed by
bewilderment among American and British audiences  "Waiting for Godot" has become one of the
most important and enigmatic plays of the past fifty years and a cornerstone of
twentieth-century drama. As Clive Barnes wrote  "Time catches up with genius. . . . "Waiting
for Godot" is one of the masterpieces of the century."  The story revolves around two seemingly
homeless men waiting for someone--or something--named Godot. Vladimir and Estragon wait near a
tree  inhabiting a drama spun of their own consciousness. The result is a comical wordplay of
poetry  dreamscapes  and nonsense  which has been interpreted as mankind's inexhaustible search
for meaning. Beckett's language pioneered an expressionistic minimalism that captured the
existential post- World War II Europe. His play remains one of the most magical and beautiful
allegories of our time.
