Waiting for Godot
in a small theatre used by an experimental theatre group they’re performing Waiting for Godot so old-hat there aren’t many people there they wait and they wait Godot doesn’t show up knowing that he won’t come no one is really waiting some people start to nod off but it’s precisely at this moment right at the end of Waiting for Godot that someone runs onto the stage this unexpected “unexpectedness” really gets the crowd going this ill-intentioned interloper turns out to be the simple-minded son of the theatre doorkeeper there’s no way to stop him he rushes to the middle of the stage calling out to the people in the crowd bawling his eyes out and asking for sweets “Godot’s finally turned up!” the audience jumps to its feet: a thunderous round of applause © Translation: 2004, Simon Patton |
