#Barney waiting for santa german torrent
Following Pozzo's command "Think!", the otherwise mute Lucky performs a sudden dance and monologue: a torrent of academic-sounding phrases mixed with pure nonsense. Pozzo states that he is on the way to the market, at which he intends to sell Lucky for profit. Lucky is bound by a rope held by Pozzo, who forces Lucky to carry his heavy bags and physically punishes him if he deems Lucky's movements too lethargic. Subsequently, an imperious traveler named Pozzo, along with his silent slave Lucky, arrives and pauses to converse with Vladimir and Estragon. They are not certain if they have ever met Godot, nor if he will even arrive. The duo discuss a variety of issues at length, none of any apparent significance, and it is finally revealed that they are awaiting a man named Godot. Estragon notifies Vladimir of his most recent troubles: he spent the previous night lying in a ditch and received a beating from a number of anonymous assailants. The play opens with two bedraggled acquaintances, Vladimir and Estragon, meeting by a leafless tree. In a poll conducted by the British Royal National Theatre in 1998/99, it was voted the "most significant English-language play of the 20th century". The English-language version premiered in London in 1955.
The premiere, directed by Roger Blin, was on 5 January 1953 at the Théâtre de Babylone, Paris. The original French text was composed between 9 October 1948 and 29 January 1949. Waiting for Godot is Beckett's translation of his own original French-language play, En attendant Godot, and is subtitled (in English only) " a tragicomedy in two acts". Waiting for Godot ( / ˈ ɡ ɒ d oʊ/ GOD-oh) is a play by Samuel Beckett in which two characters, Vladimir (Didi) and Estragon (Gogo), engage in a variety of discussions and encounters while awaiting the titular Godot, who never arrives.
En attendant Godot, staging by Otomar Krejca, Avignon Festival, 1978
