Waiting for Godot
Author(s): Samuel Beckett
<em>Waiting for Godot</em> by Samuel Beckett is one of the most significant plays of the twentieth century. This production of the existentialist tragicomedy by the New Yiddish Rep is performed entirely in Yiddish (with English and Russian supertitles). Directed by Moshe Yassur, the play casts a unique light on Godot; the characters are subtly portrayed as Holocaust survivors, and Yiddish history and culture echoes hauntingly through Beckett’s masterpiece.
Format:Full-length play
