Though Godot contains all the wit and whimsicality of Murphy (minus a great deal of the old pedantry), it has one new ingredient — humanity.Its author has achieved a theoretical impossibility — a play in which nothing happens, that yet keeps audiences glued to their seats.he has written a play in which nothing happens, twice.He outdoes MM Sartre and Camus in skepticism, just as Swift beat Voltaire at his own game. . . . About the only thing Godot shows consistent respect for is the music-hall low-comedy tradition.
Samuel Beckett
