Samuel Beckett's most famous play Waiting for Godot makes a triumphant return to the Citizens Theatre Stage, Directed by Dominic Hill

Wating for Godot was superbly acted, Matthew Kelly and George Costagan as Estragon and Vladimir. Samuel Beckett's world famous play about two men. Tramps are never mentioned, indeed Vladimir is embarrassed Estragon asks for money and a chicken bone. Estragon eluded to being a poet hence the shabby clothes.

Like Kelly and Costagan Vladimir and Estragon have known each other for over 50 years allowing for the conversation to flow, bickering, complaining of ailments, boots that are sore, prostate that makes it difficult to piss. They have been alone for a very long time, on a barren road with a dead tree, just waiting for Godot. About 25 mins in to the first half enters Pozzo and Lucky, Lucky is lead on a rope tied round his sore and bloody neck, carrying Pozzo's bags and stool, he only listens when he is called pig. Pozzo enjoys being the big man, the centre of attention, he is going to the market to sell his slave, lucky. However we feel this will never happen as like Vladimir and Estragon they seem tied to each other literally and figuratively. They go.

Enter the boy who works for Godot, he says he won't be coming tonight but tomorrow.

Act 2 although slightly different, the tree has 6 leaves Pozzo is now blind and Lucky a mute it carries on in much the same vein they continue to wait on Godot. Is it the next day or months later? We don't know.

The boy re-appears and although he denies speaking to them before he indicates that Godot will come tomorrow.

Vladimir does get some info from the boy. When asked what Godot does, the boy said nothing.

Vivian Mercier famously described Wating for Godot as a play where nothing happens, twice!

I'm not so sure, I think it's a play about the deep loving friendship two men have, it's possible that one, I think Estragon, has Dementia and the other man helps him through his days of confusion and flashes of actual memory.

It could be about power, Pozzo needs power over his slave Lucky, he wants people to look at him like a pompous preening politition does.

He ultimately needs Lucky more in Act 2 when he has become blind and can't carry on alone.

I found the play very funny, very bleak and ultimately heartwarming.

That's just me though, if you stopped 10 people after the play and asked what they thought, I bet no two people would say the same!
