Waiting for Godot...

This world classic play originally written by Spanish playwright Samuel Beckett has succeeded in establishing the trend of Theatre of Absurd in the world dramatic literature. Two people are waiting for “Godot” under a tree on a road side. They wait, wait and wait…. And the play finished. The play speaks nothing, nor does it pass any social moral value…
But within that nothingness the truth of our life unfolds. Like Vladimir and Estragon in the play we all are definitely waiting for somebody in our life; for a ray of hope, otherwise we can’t survive. This Hindi version of ‘Waiting for Godot’ redefines the meaning of human existence and tries to search for a deeper meaning of life. Our production gives emphasis on the hidden layers of human relationship and tries to search for a GODOT who is nowhere but within our own self. Beckett's Waiting for Godot is not a play on waiting for someone; it is time to know your own self while waiting for no one. The famous absurd play in Indian context in Hindi with lots of changes...
