	Lucky (Waiting for Godot) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lucky is a character from Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot.
		Lucky is unique in a play where most of the characters talk incessantly: he only utters two sentences (one of which is more than seven hundred words long; see The monologue).
		Lucky is often compared to Vladimir (just as Pozzo is compared to Estragon) as being the intellectual, left-brained part of his character duo (i.e.

	Waiting for Godot
		Lucky for the most part is concerned with his thinking, but catching sight of the pair he'll make a step or too in their direction, and they'll panic and scarper.
		Lucky throughout the entire play is at the beck and call of his master Pozzo, who has a rope around his servant's neck.
		Waiting for Godot is at the Cockpit Theatre till 28 February.

	Monopedilos - Waiting on God: A Christian Examination of "Waiting for Godot"
		They are waiting for Godot to arrive and meet them and they have agreed to meet him at the tree in front of which the entire play takes place.
		Clearly, the desire Vladimir and Estragon are waiting for is the arrival of Godot, and I do not believe it is a coincidence that they are waiting beside a tree, one we have already shown to be metaphorically connected with the tree of life, the cross of Christ.
		Godot” as a conflict between the promises of the world and a life of agnosticism, with the prospect of repenting and believing on God as out of the question as hanging oneself or leaving the meeting place to find Godot.

	Godot
		Godot is explicitly vague, merely an empty promise, corresponding to the lukewarm piety and absence of suffering in the tramps.
		Godot cannot finally be equated either with the "other" of the existentialists or with God, but together with other hints, the stress on witnessing and being witnessed and the frequent references to the Bible do push us in the direction of both equations.
		Lucky, who embodies the dying certainties of past civilisation in Act I, seems in his muteness to embody death itself in Act II, so that Pozzo, who is tied first to the dying and then to Death itself, comes to accept the burden of his own mortality, even though he continues to despise that burden.

		Pozzo and his servant Lucky, two other characters that pass by while our protagonists are waiting for Godot, add another bizarre touch to an already surreal story, in which nothing seems to happen and discussions between the characters don't make much sense.
		"Waiting for Godot" is neither too long nor too difficult, but it shows a lack of action and purpose in the characters that is likely to annoy many before they reach the final pages, leading them to abandon the book in a hurry.
		I daresay that the effect of Waiting For Godot is much more impactful and effective when performed on stage than it is when read, particularly in terms of the lyrical dialogue that often comes to the fore.

		Waiting for Godot was dubbed a "tragicomedy" and there doesn't seem to be any other word better suited to describe this play.
		Waiting for Gogot is really what you make it, because while at its core it is a just a story of two confused homeless men, it is also a meaningful and slightly endearing tale.
		Waiting for Godot, in proper Modernist fashion, strips away all the layers of narrative and form and leaves nothing but the naked husk of a play, which Beckett no doubt felt revealed the human condition at its most basic.

	WCU - Spring 2005 Approaching 'Waiting for Godot' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The set for Waiting for Godot is famously stripped of everything that might provide a broader frame of reference, a sense of "reality." Yet it seems real enough in its way; there's the road, there's the tree.
		The waiting tramps are "faithful" in their perseverance, as the Christian interpretation goes….Didi's kindness and friendship is Christian charity….
		There's enough reason to agree with Times reviewer that Waiting for Godot is about the "lost souls of the earth" who "go on living without knowing why." But to call it "uneventful, maundering, loquacious" (in the pejorative sense) is to do it an injustice.

	Waiting for Godot -- Act 1
		Pozzo drives Lucky by means of a rope passed round his neck, so that Lucky is the first to enter, followed by the rope which is long enough to let him reach the middle of the stage before Pozzo appears.
		Lucky carries a heavy bag, a folding stool, a picnic basket and a greatcoat, Pozzo a whip.
		Lucky advances and, both his hands being occupied, takes the whip in his mouth, then goes back to his place.

		On June 30th 2001, this version of Waiting for Godot was on Ch 4 in England, as a part of their project "Beckett on film".
		Many of those who were lucky enough to see it will probably tend to agree that it was a thoroughly enjoyable film version of this fantastic play.
		Waiting for Godot doesn't really invite filming, since it doesn't allow the utilization of the film medium; it is located in one single spot and has a very stationary character.

	Godot Arrives - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is an unauthorized sequel to Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot.
		The plot is superficially similar to Beckett's play - in that "nothing happens, twice" - except for the absence of Pozzo and Lucky (neither of whom are mentioned), and the arrival of Godot.
		Godot and Bozo, who apparently did not succumb to their wounds, appear again and follow them off.

	Stage Review: Duquesne Masquers plumb grim absurdities of tedious 'Godot'
		Duquesne University's Red Masquers dive head first and wholeheartedly into the epitome of absurdity -- Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot." The good news is that the Duquesne student troupe succeeds at lightening and enlivening this dirge on dire straits and woeful life.
		We were all waiting for "Godot." Back then, a popular T-shirt slogan read, "Life is what you do while you're waiting." If "Godot" has a single sense, that may be it.
		Pozzo and Lucky are the extremes of everyone else -- one master and one slave who, without each other, would be without purpose.

	Waiting for Godot, a CurtainUp review
		Waiting and waiting and waiting, both Go Go and Di Di (as they are familiarly known to each other) are characters we are concerned about and really care about, a situation all too rare in much contemporary dramatic literature.
		Waiting for Godot appears to have a secure and resounding life of its own, no matter how diverse or even perverse the interpretation.
		Godot was first presented as En Attendant Godot at the Theatre de Babylone, Paris, France during the season of 1952-53.

	Waiting for Godot
		Pozzo and Lucky, the master and slave, are half vaudeville characters and half marionettes.
		The long speech of Lucky, a bravura passage that is seemingly meaningless, is strongly reminiscent of Joyce and certain effects in Finnegans Wake.
		In the scene, for example, between the master and the slave, Lucky is held on a leash by Pozzo.

		There's plenty of entertainment in Waiting for Godot, but there may be a message in the experience of the play, if we know where to look.

		Waiting for Godot, too, can be viewed as an empty vessel that the audience can fill with its own fears, dreams, and aspirations.

		Lucky's speech, for example, is a cleverly contrived attack not against God but against arguments for the existence of or explanation of God.
		This ballad echoes the circularity of the entire play, and also indicates again that the waiting the two friends are involved in is between the birth and the death of the play, or the opening and closing curtains.
		Lucky's speech is a fountain of spewed up information which falls around the central sentence and buries it beyond all but the most careful investigation.

	Firebelly Should Have Waited Longer for 'Godot' (washingtonpost.com)
		Firebelly's current production is Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot." The troupe might have had more than eight patrons (and one reviewer) for last Sunday's matinee if audiences had not been recently treated to a superb production of the play at Arlington's long-established Washington Shakespeare Company.
		While "Godot" might be generally considered one of the greatest plays of the last century, it is by no means an audience magnet.
		The waiting takes place in a desolate, unchanging landscape and it is the waiting, which fills each day in a continuing circle filled with oblique and often pointless dialogue, that forces audiences to confront whether life has any meaning to it.

	Waiting For Godot, a CurtainUp review
		The mysterious Godot they are waiting for never appears though other figures occasionally do appear, but they too are disjointed and helpless.
		Pozzo drives Lucky on with a whip and a rope; Lucky is half-dead, laden with Pozzo's things, and has had a rope around his neck so long he can't breathe properly.
		In Godot, it is neither the characters nor the landscape that assume central importance; it is the characters' subjective experience of the landscape that matters.

	GradeSaver: ClassicNote: Waiting for Godot Study Guide
		Although very existentialist in its characterizations, Waiting for Godot is primarily about hope.
		At various times during the play, hope is constructed as a form of salvation, in the personages of Pozzo and Lucky, or even as death.
		An interesting interpretation argues that Lucky receives his name because he is lucky in the context of the play.

		It was wrenching to watch Dennis Stewart as Lucky - a usually forgotten presence on the stage, with a usually boring-as-heck monologue - bring a lonely, broken character to life with his soulful eyes, and almost gospel-like take his one line (long as it may be!).

	The Coming of Godot
		In 1955, I was twenty-four years old and a very lucky young man. Eighteen months out of university, I had been given a theatre (The Arts, in Great Newport Street) and asked to provide it with a play every four weeks.
		The resources were minimal and the money was not good (£7 per week and luncheon vouchers); but the opportunity to direct new plays (I started off with The Lesson, the first Ionesco in Britain) and classics on a shoe-string seemed too good to be true.
		And I wondered less and less about what the play meant as day followed day; it clearly meant what it said.two men were waiting for Godot.
