- Samuel Beckett is perhaps the greatest playwright of the 20th century, and the author of the masterpiece, Waiting for Godot. It’s hard to understand the modern world without his perspective.

I feel like I am not entitled to hear/see such content for free. What you are doing is so, so good.
Who else saw quad?
Where's Dostoyevsky?
I'm not sure if anyone noticed this but at around the two minute mark, there is meant to be a photo of Beckett, but instead, it's just Max Stirner's head photoshopped onto a suit. Not sure what you're trying to say....
You guys should do a philosophy episode on George Carlin
Once you realize what Beckett is saying, its all a downward truth..
I saw Waiting for Godot on Broadway. Godot didn't show up but Keanu Reeves did.
J.D. SALINGER PLEASE
Waiting for Godot was a weird play but perhaps what makes it timeless is the objectivity of the writing and how we can interpret it in myriad ways, based on what we believe to be 'Godot'.
Estragon: What am I to say?
great video!
Great video... I love how Beckett's works especially Waiting for Godot can be interpreted in different ways. For me it meant the endless cycle of human suffering, we just keep waiting and waiting for things to get better, for someone to come and save/help us.
Gogo: Let's go
Thanks for uploading this a week before my GCSE literature exam, this video reassures my option of choosing English Literature for A levels. Just shows how important, complex and beautiful literature is.
Love to see one on Thomas Mann or Anton Chekov
I'm theatre student, and when I first saw you've done this episode about Samuel Beckett, I was extremely excited.
Do Jorge Luis Borges please! I see you lack spanish-speaking authors, a lack which Borges would marvelously fill.
Really enjoyed 'Waiting For Godot' actually, and 'Play' was an interesting experience too - my friends at drama school show me his works, and they're good.
My attention span wouldn't allow me to learn these things any other way.
