Horribly boring and difficult but the dark humour was good. Seeing this performed would probably be much better than just reading the play.

dark funny mysterious slow-paced

4.0

The first time I read this I was when I was in the drama program in school at around 17, and I remember it as endless and confusing, interesting and thought provocing, but ultimately it primarily went over my head. I think I owe this play my interest in absurdism though. This is pretty nuch where it started! 

 I reread it now, at 27, and I still find it confusing and hard to grasp, but still so thought provocing. At it's core it's an absurdist comment on the meaningless of existence, but we also have the importance of the friendship between Vladimir and Estragon. I feel like those two points are the opposites that make the play what it is.
