Samuel Beckett's WAITING FOR GODOT | Milan performances

“Beckett’s groundbreaking tragicomedy matches our cultural moment” – Michael Billington, The Guardian

Two penniless vagrants in rags and ruined boots meet by a barren tree on an abandoned stretch of road through a wasteland and wait – for the mysterious Godot who, when he comes, will provide their salvation. They pass the time in banter, philosophical musings, clowning and argument, always hoping that the longed-for Godot will appear. A bullying, wealthy tyrant named Pozzo appears, leading his demented slave Lucky on a rope, and converses with them, and later a young boy, a messenger who tells them that ‘Mr Godot’ sends his apologies, but will certainly come tomorrow.

Nearly 80 years since its composition in Paris in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, Samuel Beckett’s tragicomic absurdist masterpiece continues to delight, intrigue, move and inspire with its rich mix of slapstick clowning, vaudeville vulgarity, lyrical Irish banter and poignant existential yearning.
