En attendant Godot, a French language tragicomedy in 2 acts. Poor Didi (Vladimir) and Gogo (Estragon) who kept waiting for a man that never arrives! This play by Samuel Beckett, premiered on the fifth of January, 1953, however it's many interpretations only hurt the mind of those who know of it and the story itself emerges unscathed. Do your own evaluation, come up with your own theories, the mind boggling nature of the context of the story makes it a classic of a literature. Share with us what you think about the play/story!
