Waiting for Godot is my absolute favorite play. When asked by my students for all my years of teaching, what was my favorite play? I was always proud to answer, waiting for Godot. I think it is the most perfect play that illustrates the most central core of human experience: waiting. Waiting is something that we all do and actually spend most of our life doing. Waiting for Godot illustrates that perfectly.  I must have seen this production over 20 times  – – sometimes good  – – sometimes bad – – sometimes ugly  – – but each time I’ve learned something new about the play .  Here in the hands of Michael Shannon and Paul Sparks. I felt I really saw the quintessential version.
