Waiting for Godot is a groundbreaking absurdist play by Samuel Beckett, first performed in 1953. It centers on two characters, Vladimir and Estragon, who wait endlessly and in vain for someone named Godot. As they pass time with fragmented dialogue, dark humor, and philosophical musings, the play explores themes of existentialism, meaninglessness, and the human condition. With its minimal setting and lack of traditional plot, Waiting for Godot challenges theatrical conventions and invites reflection on hope, despair, and the absurdity of life. Its ambiguity and repetition make it a powerful and enduring work of modernist literature and theater.
