What is WAITING FOR GODOT about?
WAITING FOR GODOT takes on several key themes, including the absurdity or purposelessness of life. Two men named Didi and Gogo wait by a tree for a man named Godot. They don't know who he is, why they are meeting or what time he is coming - only that something incredible could happen when he does.
