Literary critic Vivian Mercier once called “Waiting for Godot” “a play in which nothing happens, twice.” In fact, to describe what happens in the play is essentially just to name its title it is a two-hour production about two men waiting for the mysterious Godot.

Samuel Beckett’s classic absurdist play “Waiting for Godot” has become one of the best known works of 20th century theatre, engaging audiences of all sorts in a multitude of languages since its premiere at a Paris theatre in 1953.
