Description: Subtitled 'A tragicomedy in two Acts', and famously described by the Irish critic Vivien Mercier as a play in which 'nothing happens, twice', En attendant Godot was first performed at the Théâtre de Babylone in Paris in 1953. It was translated into English by Samuel Beckett, and Waiting for Godot opened at the Arts Theatre in London in 1955. 'Go and see Waiting for Godot. At the worst you will discover a curiosity, a four-leaved clover, a black tulip; at the best something that will securely lodge in a corner of your mind for as long as you live.' Harold Hobson, 7 August 1955'I told him that if by Godot I had meant God I would have said God, and not Godot. This seemed to disappoint him greatly.' Samuel Beckett, 1955.

Review: Very well acted, a real play on the scene, close to the author's text. Can only recommend it! Though I believe I had he last one available

Review: Bought this for my studies, and found it very difficult. I've given it 3 stars because I was using it to analyse and in that sense it's very useful, as there are lots of interpretations of the characters and (lack-of) events. It has very little plot and discussions between the two main characters have little comedic value as is intended, but instead seems very slapstick. Overall, I would definitely not read for pleasure. Another small gripe, this edition has no line numbers, which is difficult for referencing if you are using it to study from.
