Competition: Waiting for Godot

Waiting for Godot

Written by Samuel Beckett, Waiting for Godot is a "tragicomedy" in two acts. It tells the story of Vladimir and Estragon—to each other, Didi and Gogo—as they wait for a mysterious figure named Godot. The setting is sparse as they pass the time talking, engaging in slapstick routines, and meeting passersby. Godot never arrives.
