2. Waiting for Godot

Waiting for Godot is an absurdist play by Irish playwright Samuel Beckett in which two characters, Vladimir and Estragon, engage in a variety of discussions and encounters while awaiting the titular Godot. Beckett's 67-year-old tragicomedy Waiting for Godot is near-ubiquitous in the theater world. This strikes most people as odd given that, as Vivian Mercier once put it, this is a play where nothing happens… twice. This cerebral and philosophical piece is anything but dry under the direction of classically trained clown Rachel Hall, as she turns her attention towards physical comedy and genuine connection between these strange and wonderful people.
