Waiting for Godot

Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot follows Vladimir and Estragon, two tramps who wait by a bare tree on a desolate road for the arrival of the mysterious Godot. As they pass the time with circular conversations, petty arguments, and encounters with passersby, nothing happens and yet everything is revealed about the human condition. Widely regarded as one of the most important plays of the twentieth century, this tragicomedy redefined what theater could be.
