SAMUEL BECKETT (APRIL 13,1906 –DECEMBER 22,1989)  was an Irish avant-garde writer, dramatist and poet, writing in English and French.  Beckett is considered one of the last modernists; as an inspiration to many later writers, he is sometimes considered one of the first postmodernists  He is also considered one of the key writers in what Martin Esslin called "Theatre of the Absurd”  Beckett was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1969

 Beckett studied French, Italian, and English at Trinity College, Dublin from 1923 to 1927  in 1929, Beckett published his first work, a critical essay entitled "Dante... Bruno. Vico.. Joyce Beckett's career as a writer can be roughly divided into three periods:  his early works, up until the end of World War II in 1945;  his middle period, stretching from 1945 until the early 1960’s, during which period he wrote what are probably his best-known works;  his late period, from the early 1960s until Beckett's death in 1989, during which his works tended to become shorter and his style more minimalist.

“ WAITING FOR GODOT” o This play is rightly or wrongly, considered to have been instrumental in the so called “Theatre of the absurd” and deals in very black ly humorous way with themes similar to those of the roughly contemporary existentialist thinkers. o The play is a tragicomedy in two acts in wich two characters, Vladimir and Estragon, wait for someone named Godot. o “Waiting for Godot” is Beckett's translation of his own original French version, “En attendant Godot”. o The premiere was on 5 January 1953 in the Théâtre de Babylone.

CHARACTERS Vladimir – he is also called “Didi”; he’s the one musing on religious or philosophical matters Estragon – he is also called “Gogo”; he “belongs to the stone” Pozzo – he is tyrannical, cruel, focused onlyon himself Lucky - he is Pozzo’s slave, he is constantly abused physically and verbally.
