Synopsis:

“Nothing to be done…”

The show opens when two men, Vladimir and Estragon, who are down on their luck, come to a point on a country road to meet a man named Godot. Estragon struggles to remove his boot from his swollen foot, while Vladimir sees that there is nothing to be done. While waiting, the two come across Pozzo and his man-servant Lucky. As time passes, the two men debate whether it’s worth it to wait for Godot or whether they should leave and come back another day. Through existential questions, the two men explore and weight the risks of life. This tragic-comedy is timeless classic that explores the subtleties of life.
