Waiting for Godot (Theatre)	comment	A famously surreal "tragicomedy" by Samuel Beckett. Probably the best known example of the Theatre of the Absurd. The story concerns these two guys, Vladimir and Estragon (Didi and Gogo for short), who spend most of their time hanging out by a tree on a lonely road in a barren and nondescript land, waiting for someone named Godot, who never comes. They have several brief but intense encounters with an Upper-Class Twit named Pozzo and his servant, Lucky. During the course of the play they wonder where Godot is, eat carrots, contemplate suicide, wonder where Godot is, discuss the Gospels, share dirty jokes, wonder where Godot is, exchange hats, volley insults with each other, wonder where Godot is, and gradually succumb to existential angst and ennui.It's wildly hilarious.Famously described by one critic as "a play in which nothing happens, twice." Inspired, among other things, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, and (surprisingly) Bottom. Has no relation to a certain coffee-loving prosecutor. Maybe.

Waiting for Godot (Theatre) / int_17ce80aa	type	All There in the Manual
Waiting for Godot (Theatre) / int_17ce80aa	comment	All There in the Manual: Possibly a Shout-Out. The play The Maker (Le Faiseur) by the famous French novelist Honoré de Balzac features an in debt speculator, Mercadet. His favorite excuse for not paying his creditors was pretending to be waiting for his associate, Godeau (same pronunciation as Godot, in French) to come back from India with a lot of money. As one would expect, Godeau never shows up.

Vladimir recommends he run in front of them (i.e. into the auditorium). Estragon refuses and Vladimir looks out into the auditorium and says "Well, I can understand that." When Vladimir and Estragon discuss whether they've been in the location before, the line "that bog" is traditionally delivered with a gesture towards the audience.

Waiting for Godot (Theatre) / int_4a32e562	comment	The Human Pack Mule was actually established by Charlie Chaplin in his 1915 installment Work, where The Tramp is seen dragging a cart full of Equipment, while his employer constantly whips him onwards. Beckett could possibly have been inspired for the Pozzo/Lucky-pairing by this movie. Chaplin's employer in this Movie is called Izzy, by the way, ringing close to the name "Pozzo" (and Chaplin is, as always, "lucky" in some ironic way). To stress this a little further, Lucky can only speak/think when he has a particular hat on (as the Tramp was a Silent Era character, he would die when he began to talk, according to Word of God, i.e. Chaplin himself).
