	Waiting for Godot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Waiting for Godot (French: En attendant Godot), subtitled A Tragicomedy in Two Acts, is an absurdist play by Samuel Beckett, written in the late 1940s and first published in 1952.
		Waiting for Godot originally received widely varied reactions from critics, and was seen as deliberately obscure, with Beckett himself resolutely refusing to aid interpretation by saying, "It means what it says"
		The intentionally uneventful and repetitive plot of Waiting for Godot can be seen as symbolizing the tedium and meaninglessness of human life, which loosely connects the play to one of the themes of existentialist philosophy.

	Beckett - Joanne Klein on Waiting for Godot
		The Studio Theatre production of Waiting for Godot, directed by Joy Zinoman, foregrounded race as an inflection of the social and theistic relations of Beckett's characters, who are left on their own to improvise in a non-signifying vastness that is neither vast nor non-signifying enough.

	WCU - Spring 2005 Approaching 'Waiting for Godot'
		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.

		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" 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.
		We are all waiting for something, I suppose, but such a vivid portrayal of the utter futility of such behavior strikes me as more depressing than inspiring.

	WCU - Spring 2006 Analyzing WAITING FOR GODOT
		The image Waiting for Godot evokes, then, is poetic and lyrical in essence rather than narrative; like a lot of theater of the absurd, it's both tragic and comic in nature.
		Waiting for Godot is a poignant play about such waiting, about the repetition, the meaninglessness, the absurdity of waiting, of feeling (and being) suspended in time instead of moving forward in a meaningful direction.
		This hoping, this waiting, removes us from the potentially liberating awareness that the moment we’re actually suspended in, this moment between birth and death that glows so briefly, is ultimately more important than any vague “better future” we might desire.

	Firebelly Should Have Waited Longer for 'Godot' (washingtonpost.com)

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.

		There is no longer any delight which binds humans to the universe; there is simply waiting: waiting which fills the reprieve between birth and death, waiting which engages our attention while making the journey from "spermarium to crematorium," waiting which is futile and offers very little suggestion of heroic endurance.
		We feel at the beginning of Waiting for Godot that we, as audience, are the "betters" necessary to complete the relationship, but find by the end that we have really been watching ourselves dancing on the stage in our game of waiting.
		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.
