Waiting for Whom?

Advantages: Applicable to a modern audience
Disadvantages: Takes a lot of studying to truly understand it

...Beckett's most popular absurdist play, Waiting For Godot, is one of the first examples critics point to when talking about the Theatre of the Absurd. This is perhaps because it follows the simple rules of having no real story line but instead having a series of "free floating images" I.e. the tree, focusing on the incomprehensibility of the world or an attempt to rationalize an irrational, disorderly world and having language act as a barrier ...
...nihilistic.

Waiting for Godot, written and first performed in French in 1954, had an enormous impact on theatregoers due to its strange and new conventions. Consisting of an essentially barren set, with the exception of a virtually leafless tree, clown-like tramps, and highly symbolic language, Godot challenges its audience to question all of the old rules and to try to make sense of a world that is beyond our understanding. At the ... more

...that is waiting. The word waiting is very strong in the title of this play it stand s out from all other words its not wait or wited its waiting that means that it is an action that is kepp on going without any end. This waiting is the epitome opf all our life. This waiting is infinite so it makes itself at one instance useless also because its without any end. If some one has seen the first part of matrix there is one line that really is echoing ...
...Estragon. Bothe of them are waiting for godot by a tree. The words that are most important in the play are nothing as they are liiterally doing nothing in the play all they are doing is waiting. They keep on waiting till the end of the play. As all the actions they do during this waiting are reduced to nothing. Then we are introduced to two new characters and one of them is Lucky who though is a servant has the intellect but he is treated as an animal. ...

Waiting for a good available production of this

Advantages: Fascinating, beautifully comical, unpatronising, complete yet not satisfying
Disadvantages: Probably boring to some due to lack of real action

...play ambling about the stage, waiting for Godot to appear and sporadically threatening to leave or suggesting that they commit suicide. Nothing happens, as Beckett himself writes in the play. A few entrances and exits, but in general nothing more than frustration and occasional wonder. It's fantastically funny, with witty and bizarre comments flying between Vladimir, Estragen and Pozzo (but not, of course, Lucky, who is treated as an animal for ...
...pages with no punctuation). The play is beautifully crafted and Beckett's genius brings it all together, able to leave the audience dissatisfied because there is no solution, no ending. He gets his point across in an enlightening way and I'm only sorry I couldn't have performed it as my practical A-level coursework, because it would have been the most rewarding and fun piece of work we could ever have done. ...

Waiting And Waiting

Advantages: Original, funny and interesting
Disadvantages: Not everyone's cup of tea

Samuel Beckett has been a great influence to 20th Century theatre. In the 1950's he invented a new kind of play - absurd. Now many of you may read this play and think that it is the biggest lot of rubbish, but as I always say - a play is meant to be seen and not read. "Waiting For Godot" was the beginning of absurd drama and absolutely slated by the press on it's opening. One reviewer wrote "Nothing happens. It's terrible!" But somehow, it caught ...
...in Beckett's footsteps. The play shows us a day in the life of Vladimir and Estragon, two homeless men waiting... for... well Godot of course. What Godot is, we can only speculate, but the play is funny (if performed correctly) and intrigueing. If your usual type of play is "Mrs. Brown's Last Wedding" or "Jack And The Beanstalk", then give this a look in - it's very different but very entertaining. ...

This really isn't for everyone but its good

Advantages: Great play
Disadvantages: Hard to get into for some people

Waiting for Godot was originally written in French but was subsequently translated back to English by Beckett. It was Beckett's first play, and many would say one of his greatest. There are heavy influences from Beckett's peer-group in the "Theatre of the Absurd" - which later influenced writers such as Tom Stoppard and Harold Pinter. The two main charachters are Vladimir and Estragon who are waiting on a deserted road for Godot to come along. ...
...Vladimir and Estragon... they are waiting for Godot and he never seems to show up. At one point they consider committing suicide, but they are worried - what if the branch breaks and I can't come with you? or what if the rope breaks? Many people have drawn the analogy between Godot and God unsurprisingly, but whether this is what Beckett intended is unclear. The meaning might be interpreted as waiting for God, but him never appearing. Over the ...

Brilliantly bleak

Advantages: One of the best plays of our time
Disadvantages: May not appeal to everyone due to lack of action

...be enjoyed or understood. However, Waiting for Godot is one of the best plays written in the twentieth century, portraying a terribly bleak view of the repetitiveness and monotony of the meaningless cycle of life and commenting on the futility of even trying to find a meaning in life. This is what the two main characters Vladimir, or "Didi", and Estragon, or "Gogo", are trying to do while they wait for Godot (presumably representing the God who ...
...the play is often criticised, but is essential to the bleak outlook of the play, being combined with the constant repetition of lines and Estragon's infuriatingly short memory span. This play may not be everyone's slice of cake, but for a piece of beautifully scripted bleak view on human nature, with a touch of surreality, look no further ...

brilliant

Advantages: humour
Disadvantages: langage

this play exhibits a strange sense of originality. it is effectively a compound of hamlet by william shakespeare and waiting for godot by samuel beckett. tom stoppard cleverly picks out a scenario which is of peripheral interest in hamlet, that of rosencrantz and guildenstern who die quite quickly, and sees in them room for the interpreation of those feelings of alienation and misunderstanding that were the key to the theatre of the absurd. this si a very clever and a very funny play and one that made the playwright very famous, before he went on to write shakespeare in love. i recommend this, but it is rather difficult to read and depends on the knowledge you have of the other plays. it is ultimately rewarding though. ...

Review of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead - Tom Stoppard

Hamlets mates...

Advantages: A true one-off
Disadvantages: Can't tell you: it would spoil it...

?? GUID ?I?ll hie you home and ?? ROS: ?out of my head-? GUILD: ?dry you high and-? ROS: ? over my step over my head body! I tell you it?s all stopping to a death, it?s boding to a depth, stepping to a head, it?s all heading to a dead stop.? Oh dear. So what, my friends is their alternative fate in this alternative universe? Well now wouldn?t that be telling! Many have likened the concept of this play to Samuel Beckett?s Waiting for Godot, and with good reason: absurdity and fatalism are of tantamount importance in both. Yet I would still maintain that this much funnier play is still a true original. First produced in 1967 the play is a regular on many stages around the world today. If you know Hamlet well then the skill of the Stoppard plot will not escape you. Although significantly shorter in running time than ...
