Still waiting, after half a century

Date of Review:  Nov 5, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you can't see it, read it.
Review: In the half century since its premiere in French, millions of words have been written about Samuel Beckett's play Waiting for Godot. It is probably the most famous twentieth-century play. Beckett himself rejected the interpretation, which is all too...

Just waitin' for the sun to shine

Date of Review:  Mar 1, 2003
The Bottom Line: This is a classic, deserving of its applause for a perfect portrayal of the cord that keeps us hanging on. But you must wait to find out what it is.
Review: Waiting for Godot. Maybe tonight or tomorrow evening.

Two vagabonds are soliciting a barren road, waiting for the delayed, or the inevitable, or the non existent. They are waiting for a mysterious being by the name of Mr. Godot.

Who the heck are we?

Date of Review:  Jun 4, 2000
Review: Waiting for Godot is one of the greatest plays of all time. Many people find reading it drab and tiresome; but if you consider what it's saying, and what it's asking (also consider that it is really the first, and most famous, work classified as...

Worth the Wait

Date of Review:  Jun 19, 2003
The Bottom Line: Captured in this play are two humans, two lives, and their interaction provides a wealth of knowledge, insight, and need for self reflection in the reader.
Review: "Waiting for Godot" is a masterpiece. This is an amazing work that will have you thinking longer than the time it took to read.

The two characters, Vladimir and Estragon, spend the entire play just as the title suggests: they wait for...

Dont' Read It; See It

Date of Review:  Nov 26, 2000
Review: Most plays are not meant to be read. Especially not Beckett. Especially not famous Beckett.

I know this.

For some reason, I have a Ph.D. in theatre. This means I have read a lot of plays. So I know this. Trust me.

Most...

Waiting for Godot: Existentialism's Trojan Horse

Date of Review:  Apr 7, 2000
Review: If Sartre's No Exit is existentialism's Great Abyss then Godot is its backhanded offer of Redemption, reminding us that simply being, simply living, may be enough. There may be nothing else out there, nothing beyond our frame of existence, and...

Waiting for God? Oh.

Date of Review:  May 8, 2000
Review: Much debate has spawned regarding who or what is "Godot" in Beckett's most famous work, which depicts two men (tinkers) waiting for the unseen personage to arrive while debating suicide and meeting a small number of characters, representing various...

Waiting for... RESPECT and understanding

Date of Review:  Jan 16, 2000
Review: I read this wonderful play for my AP Literature and Composition class. I read it for no other reason besides its numerical qualifications but after finishing the play, that reason has changed dramatically.

I took a look at the two other...

And waiting, and waiting

Date of Review:  Nov 18, 1999
Review: I'll go along with Edrinalinc4's review for the most part. There's been a lot of pretentious stuff written about Beckett in the past, about his "existential meaninglessness", blah, blah, blah. I've often wondered why, if life, according to Beckett...

The Paradox of Inaction

Date of Review:  Oct 25, 2000
Review: Beckett's "Waiting for Godot" is a masterpiece of existentialism. It gives the audience all the questions, points in the direction of the answers, and lets the reader decide for himself what truth is.

The novel's two main characters,...
