From an inauspicious beginning at the tiny Left Bank Theatre de Babylone in 1953, followed by bewilderment among American and British audiences, Waiting for Godot has become of the most important and enigmatic plays of the past fifty years and a cornerstone of twentieth-century drama. As Clive Barnes wrote, “Time catches up with genius … Waiting for Godot is one of the masterpieces of the century.”
The story revolves around two seemingly homeless men waiting for someone—or something—named Godot. Vladimir and Estragon wait near a tree, inhabiting a drama spun of their own consciousness. The result is a comical wordplay of poetry, dreamscapes, and nonsense, which has been interpreted as mankind’s inexhaustible search for meaning. Beckett’s language pioneered an expressionistic minimalism that captured the existential post-World War II Europe. His play remains one of the most magical and beautiful allegories of our time.
Samuel Beckett (1906-1989), one of the leading literary and dramatic figures of the twentieth century, was born in Foxrock, Ireland and attended Trinity University in Dublin. In 1928, he visited Paris for the first time and fell in with a number of avant-garde writers and artists, including James Joyce. In 1937, he settled in Paris permanently. Beckett wrote in both English and French, though his best-known works are mostly in the latter language. A prolific writer of novels, short stories, and poetry, he is remembered principally for his works for the theater, which belong to the tradition of the Theater of the Absurd and are characterized by their minimalist approach, stripping drama to its barest elements. In 1969, Beckett was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature and commended for having "transformed the destitution of man into his exaltation." Beckett died in Paris in 1989.
At the age of seventy-six he said: "With diminished concentration, loss of memory, obscured intelligence... the more chance there is for saying something closest to what one really is. Even though everything seems inexpressible, there remains the need to express. A child need to make a sand castle even though it makes no sense. In old age, with only a few grains of sand, one has the greatest possibility." (from Playwrights at Work, ed. by George Plimpton, 2000)
“To all mankind they were addressed, those cries for help still ringing in our ears! But at this place, at this moment of time, all mankind is us... What are we doing here, THAT is the question. And we are blessed in this, that we happen to know the answer. Yes, in this immense confusion one thing along is clear. We are waiting for Godot to come—“
评分The way I see it just for now, we are all waiting for Godot (or at least try to believe so). That's the way we live by, but ironically how we don't live on.

评分The next day, they hanged themselves, leaving this dreamy world of absurdity.

(一) 爱斯特拉贡 爱斯特拉贡是整本书第一个出场人物,然而他的出场方式却非常特别。在其他戏剧中首先是要介绍人物的外貌或者背景来给读者留下印象的,但是爱斯特拉贡的出场却是一个反复不停地“脱鞋”动作。而“脱鞋”这个动作贯穿了整个剧本,在这两幕的开头和结尾处都...

评分在《等待戈多》中一切都是荒诞的,唯一不荒诞并可信的是那棵树,它所承担的意义就是树本身,一种自然、理性、生命的存在,并且在第二幕中它由原来的枯树生长出了四五片绿叶,这种生命的绿色与其场景的荒芜、人的痛苦、等待的虚无形成了鲜明的对比,宛如荒凉沙漠中的一泓清泉,...
评分爱尔兰剧作家萨缪尔•贝克特的剧作《等待戈多》,公演伊始便成为荒诞派戏剧的扛鼎之作。在剧中,贝克特没有向我们展示激烈的戏剧冲突、引人入胜的情节,甚至没有塑造任何具有魅力的舞台角色——作为主角的两个流浪汉支离破碎的对话充斥视听,唯一明确的事只有等待。波卓和幸...
