  • Veeerrryyyy interesting observation by Glover that there would never have been "Seinfeld" without "Godot".

  • Aw, Nathan Lane was Estragon? Maaaaan, I always thought that he'd be better as Didi.

  • @motorizedlamb I agree, however Beckett himself even made it clear that it WAS pronounced God-o.

  • @ridleyfilms I think this comment would make Beckett role in his grave. The specifics of pronunciation hardly matter, it's not going to change the play's content or message, I think it's a silly thing to get hung-up on.

  • Does anyone know where i could see this version with the cast?

  • I was in a production of this play this year, and played Pozzo. My interpretation of the character is different from Goodman's (I played him as actually evil, not just a windbag), but I'd still love to see him do it. And Glover as Lucky? Never saw that coming, but I bet it'd be good.

  • somehow i can really see him as an amazing Estragon.... I'm quite happy. Now i just need to see this :S booo being broke. :|

  • The beauty and genius of this show is that every single part of it is entirely open for interpretation, with no wrong answers. Also, it's wickedly funny and can really only be done by comic actors for full effect. I saw this production; Nathan Lane was marvelously over the top, Bill Irwin is the god of all clowns, John Goodman is the perfect pompous windbag (as his character is), and John Glover did a fantastic job as Lucky (500 word monologue, no punctuation. His only lines in the show).

  • No problem. I love the theatre too. Reading the play will not give anything away. It will only enhance your experience and appreciate the decisions the actors/director have made to make it come together. The set designer had a pretty cool vision too.

  • I'll have to make sure I see it and read it (I have a copy at home). I'm a big theater buff. Thanks for responding!
