Being able to see plays performed at any point you wish is one of the many benefits of living in the age of YouTube, as now instead of just analyzing words on a page, I can analyze words on a page while analyzing actors on a screen. This is my first review of a play, but for the sake of consistency, I might as well specify that that’s how I plan to review any plays in the future: watching a YouTube performance of the play while reading the script. For what it’s worth, seeing a live performance of Waiting for Godot- even just a recorded one- is a really enjoyable experience, given the fact that it’s not just nonsense you’re reading, but nonsense you’re seeing, acted out perfectly to the author’s plan. You actually feel the insanity of the main characters. Silence plays a huge part here too. To emphasize this purgatory of waiting eternally for Godot, the boredom, the discomfort, pauses are taken to the extreme. Also, I like the part where Lucky just starts ranting about nothing. Anyway, it’s both very funny and there’s also something very miserable about it, too. I guess that’s why its tagline is “a tragicomedy in two acts”.
