Waiting for Godot: A Tragicomedy in Two Acts
by

"Well? What do we do?"
"Don't let's do anything. It's safer."
"Let's wait and see what he says."
"Who?"
"Godot. You'd make me laugh if it wasn't prohibited."
"We've lost our rights?"
"We got rid of them."

This bizarre and unsettling play is about life, death, hope and loss of hope. We always search for a meaning for our existence. Sometimes we find what we are looking for, but often we are left wanting and waiting. Waiting for the unreachable. It is morning, the sun is shining, there is yet hope for us. We wait...for something or someone to diminish this boredom and loneliness, to give some meaning to what we call "life". We wait. The night falls. Everywhere is dark. There is nothing, everything is dead but a tree. We decide to end it all. But there is no rope to hang ourselves with! What if we wake up tomorrow and wait some more; hope some more? What if tomorrow would be different? If not, we can always bring a piece of rope with us the next time we go to the tree.
