The play where nothing happens, twice.
The play where nothing happens, twice.
Vladimir Estragon Pozzo Lucky A boy
Empty existence Apathy Meaninglessness of life Waiting for something to
happen
Theatre of the Absurd The absurdity of human existence Not a traditional play No setting, plot or development Time and place are irrelevant Characters are representations
The play peels off all layers that are not essential
Limited setting No specific time or setting No rounded characters Universality
Written shortly after end of WW2
Play shows degrees of power Tyrannical environment Master-slave relationship
