June 21 2025 - Waiting for Who

Prompt - What comes to mind when you hear "Waiting for Godot"?

***

Not a lot. I had never heard of it until I googled it for this post. Don't judge me... I'm not sure if this fact will come as a shock to people who know me. But you cannot know what you don't know and having an opinion on something you know nothing about it just stupid.

Up until now the only Godot I knew of was the one who played Wonder Woman on the silver screen. However, I was aware of the play that Ian Mckellen and Patrick Stewart did together - two of my favourite actors - which turns out to be this play.

It's apparently considered "the most significant English-language play of the 20th century" which means I should probably have a gander at it at some point.

Other than that, I have no thoughts, though perhaps I should occasionally venture out of the sci-fi and fantasy isle in a bookstore. Unlikely to happen, as I prefer spaceships, vampires and dragons to anything remotely resembling the real world.
