Fascinating.
I've never read or watched Godot. Is there a movie version that's good (is there more than one?)? I'm not very good at reading plays (or screenplays, which irritates).
We're deep in space, corner of No and Where.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Me neither, just pastiches. I would also love a recommendation, it feels like a hole in my cultural knowledge.

Because books.
I've never actually seen it performed. Not that I remember, anyway.
We read SO many plays in high school, most of which I've never seen performed, actually. That seems wrong.

According to IMDB there's a filmed version starring Barry McGovern (the man in question in GoT.) [link]
I'm not sure how it would translate to film...

Maybe it made you better at reading them?
The only play I remember enjoying reading is Henry IV pt I and I've never seen it performed. But somehow the rest (Our Town, Othello (GOD I HATE WATCHING THAT), Henry V) I've all seen.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I saw Waiting for Godot at a University Play competition, the name of which escapes me right now. Anyway, it was a very, very long play. Which really drove home the theme of futility.
I seem to remember that Ian McKellan and Patrick Stewart were in or going to be in a production.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So, Penny Dreadful!
Except for the fact that Timothy Dalton and Eva Green are in it, I could do without the Dracula storyline entirely. I am loving this version of Frankenstein, even if the end of last week's ep violently pissed me off.
