Waiting for Godot By Samuel Beckett Directed by Bonnie J. Monte Originally slated for the 2020 and 2021 seasons, this masterwork is considered one of the most groundbreaking and important works of 20th-century literature. Godot has fascinated and infuriated audiences since it burst upon the world in 1953. This funny, cruel, moving, enigmatic metaphor is “theatre of the absurd” at its most breathtaking pinnacle.
