"One of the true masterpieces of the century." --- Clive Barnes
“One of the most noble and moving plays of our generation, a threnody of hope deceived and deferred but never extinguished; a play suffused with tenderness for the whole human perplexity; with phrases that come like a sharp stab of beauty and pain.”
--- The Times (London)
"[Godot is] among the most studied, monographed, celebrated and sent-up works of modern art, and perhaps as influential as any from the last century... The play became the ur-text for theatrical innovation and existential thought in the latter half of twentieth century." --- Christopher Isherwood (New York Times)
