Tanghalang Ateneo’s 36th Season Presents Samuel Beckett’s ‘En Attendant Godot’"


Wazzup Pilipinas!

An absurdist play by Samuel Beckett, in which two characters, Vladimir and Estragon, wait endlessly and in vain for the arrival of someone named Godot. It premiered on January 5, 1953 in the Théâtre de Babylone, Paris. Since then it has been subject to many, philosophical, religious, existential, and even political interpretations. The production was perhaps the most successful ever. Beckett's second masterpiece. Endgame, premiered on April 3, 1957 at the Royal Court Theatre in London. All of Beckett's major works were written in French. He believed that French forced him to be more disciplined and to use the language more wisely. However, Waiting for Godot was eventually translated into the English by Beckett himself.

Samuel Beckett also became one of the first absurdist playwrites to win international fame. His works have been translated into over twenty languages. In 1969 he received the Nobel Prize for Literature,
