  • "Recognized as a seminal work of modern fiction, it has become a part of theater history."@en
  • "As Vladimir and Estragon await the arrival of Godot, they discuss their lives and consider hanging themselves, but choose to wait for Godot instead, in the hope that he can tell them what their purpose is."@en
  • "Enacts the existentialist story of characters waiting for something to happen, but they are not sure what."@en
  • "A classic of modern theatre and perennial favorite of colleges and high schools. "One of the most noble and moving plays of our generation . . . suffused with tenderness for the whole human perplexity . . . like a sharp stab of beauty and pain".--The London Times."
  • "An absurd play in which two non-heroes, Didi and Gogo wait and hope of Godot."@en
  • "This volume is an absurdist play in which two characters, Vladimir and Estragon, wait endlessly and in vain for the arrival of someone named Godot. They claim he's an acquaintance but in fact hardly know him, admitting that they would not recognize him when they do see him. To occupy the time they eat, sleep, converse, argue, sing, play games, exercise, swap hats, and contemplate suicide -- anything "to hold the terrible silence at bay". Throughout the play, the audience may encounter religious, philosophical, classical, psychoanalytical, biographical, and especially wartime references."
  • "Troosteloze uitbeelding van menselijke ellende en wanhoop in een absurde wereld door twee clowneske figuren, die wachten op uitkomst."
  • "Two old tramps wait on a bare stretch of road near a tree for Godot."@en
  • "Two old tramps wait on a bare stretch of road near a tree for Godot."
  • "The story line evolves around two seemingly omeless men waiting for someone - or something - named Godot. Vladimir and Estragon wait near a tree on a barren stretch of road, inhabiting a drama spun from their own consciousness. The result is a comical wordplay of poetry, dreamscapes, and nonsense, which has been interpreted as a somber summation of mankind's inexhaustible search for meaning."@en
  • "The avant-garde play that is already a classic."@en
  • "A classic of modern theatre and perennial favorite of colleges and high schools."@en
