A few examples: Richard Briers: 'It would seem that Briers thinks he is running the school and not me. If this attitude persists one of us will have to leave.' Robert Graves: 'Well, goodbye Graves, and remember that your best friend is the waste-paper basket.' Jilly Cooper: 'Jilly has set herself an extremely low standard which she has failed to maintain.' Michael Palin: 'I think he is just a teeny bit pleased with himself - or so I am prepared to hazard.' 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 Magic Words : 101 Ways to Talk Your Way Through Life's Challenges download book 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."
