Originally written and performed in French in 1953, Samuel Beckett translated his play En Attendant Godot into English and it premiered at the Arts Theatre, London in 1955. Famously reviewed as a play in which ?nothing happens, twice?, Waiting for Godot is one of the great experiments of modern theatre. Beckettés finest play, it is also one of the great theatrical works of the 20th century. Confusing, often violent and cruel, at times tender, it is a gripping exploration of the desolation and disorder of post-war Europe.
