WAITING FOR GODOT - Ou Meulteater, Paarl

ABOUT

SHOW SYNOPSIS

Waiting for Godot is a play by Samuel Beckett about two characters, Vladimir and Estragon, who wait for the arrival of Godot, who never arrives.

At its core, Waiting for Godot is a play about the meaning of life. Human existence is shown as absurd and, through their actions, Vladimir and Estragon fail to escape this absurdity. They find meaning in waiting for Godot and, when they learn that he will not be coming, they lose the only purpose they had.

The play is considered a masterpiece in the Western canon and is a landmark in modern drama. It is the most well-known play from the Theatre of the Absurd movement and is a definitive meeting point of the avant-garde and popular culture.

The play's themes include existentialism, the passing of time, and suffering.
