{"product_id":"9780802144423","title":"Waiting for Godot: A Tragicomedy in Two Acts","description":"\u003cb\u003eNow coming to Broadway, starring Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter and directed by Tony and Olivier Award-winner Jamie Lloyd, Samuel Beckett's indelible masterpiece, an unwavering testament to what it means to be human\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom an inauspicious beginning at the tiny Left Bank Theatre de Babylone in 1953, followed by bewilderment among American and British audiences, \u003ci\u003eWaiting for Godot\u003c\/i\u003e has become of the most important and enigmatic plays of the past fifty years and a cornerstone of twentieth-century drama. As Clive Barnes wrote, “Time catches up with genius\u003ci\u003e . . . Waiting for Godot\u003c\/i\u003e is one of the masterpieces of the century.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story revolves around two seemingly homeless men waiting for someone—or something—named Godot. Vladimir and Estragon wait near a tree, inhabiting a drama spun of their own consciousness. The result is a comical wordplay of poetry, dreamscapes, and nonsense, which has been interpreted as mankind’s inexhaustible search for meaning. Beckett’s language pioneered an expressionistic minimalism that captured the existential post-World War II Europe. His play remains one of the most magical and beautiful allegories of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grove\/Atlantic, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42370020835389,"sku":"9780802144423","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9780802144423_p0.jpg?v=1771579998","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.com\/products\/9780802144423","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
