Waiting for Godot
It is one of the most discussed and debated play by critics and scholars. The story is very simple- Vladimir and Estragon- two tramps are waiting for someone called Godot, but Godot never comes. Who or What is Godot? Why is he not coming? Why both tramps are waiting for Godot? What will happen if Godot comes?? Since how long time Estragon and Vladimir are waiting?? These and many other similar kinds of questions remain unanswered.
Samuel Beckett's language is very simple, but that simplicity is deceiving.
Waiting for Godot falls under the category of Theatre of Absurd. It has no plot, neither beginning nor end. it ends at a similar mode from where it begins. Existentialism is a prominent theme of this play.
