    Waiting for Godot (/ˈɡɒdoʊ/ GOD-oh)[1] is a


    play by Samuel Beckett in which two
    characters, Vladimir (Didi) and Estragon
    (Gogo), engage in a variety of discussions and
    encounters while awaiting the titular Godot,
    who never arrives.[2] Waiting for Godot is
    Beckett's translation of his own original
    French-language play, En attendant Godot,
    and is subtitled (in English only) "a
    tragicomedy in two acts".[3] The original
    French text was composed between 9 October
    1948 and 29 January 1949.[4] The premiere,
    directed by Roger Blin, was on 5 January 1953
    at the Théâtre de Babylone [fr], Paris. The
    English-language version premiered in London
    in 1955. In a poll conducted by the British Royal
    National Theatre in 1998/99, it was voted the
    "most significant English-language play of the
    20th century".[5][6][7]
