En attendant Godot

A play in two acts, set on a empty country road with a single tree. Two companions, Vladimir and Estragon, wait for a man named Godot, who has promised to come but never seems to arrive. To pass the time they talk, quarrel, joke, try on boots and hats, and are visited by a domineering man and his silent servant.

Nothing much happens, yet the play is gripping and funny. It asks what we do while we wait, and what keeps us going. It is one of the most influential plays of the twentieth century.
