That line by Richard Wilson, I found rather funny. "I'd never done a one person show before. It's very lonely" My first claim to fame, not that I ever wished to be famous, I never did and still don't. But, I went to watch "Waiting for Godot", in the rounds theatre. Whereby actors came into perform when the audience were all settled in to watch. Richard Wilson, one of the actors entered pulling a very thick rope with a huge knot tied at the end of it, that skipped and hit me in the head. Even though a live performance. He stopped came back to ask was I alright? I said, I was a little concussed, but would survive. He went on to do a brilliant performance. Certainly it was captivating. But, it's true, all our life we have that feeling that we are waiting expectantly for something to happen.
At 8:21, the narrator met up with Beckett biographer, Professor James Knowlson, for further discussion by a tree. Do you think he thought of Godot while he was waiting?
My 6 year old grandaughter put some twigs and leaves and gras togetther today called Campfire and Camp beds for Fairies and Squirrels which looked like the set for Waiting For Godot. Sam knew how Kids saw the World.
"He never tried to lecture anyone on what it all meant" it's so frustrating trying to make stuff now and having to explain fucking EVERYTHING to those who have the means to get it out in the world.
Oh dear - they've turned Waiting for Godot into a pantomime The TV version is far superior (faultless) and one doesn't have to endure the inane laughter

This is one of the finest programs I have seen on Samuel Beckett. You nailed it Richard!
Beautiful, spent the day searching for something good about Master Beckett, so gratified to have found this at last-

Two Dublin lads walking around Paris, James Joyce & samuel Beckett, just two of the many Irish greats....
Beckett riding on the Old Town Road

Thank god someone heard it
LOL
And they used “Waiting for the Man” by VU at the end. Beautiful!
No, really stupid.
@@Johnconno No it's not. It's ok.
Waiting for Godot really could be reinterpreted as two junkies endlessly waiting for their pickup
Great, important, all the way through to the end. Then I spent a good while looking at that screen, played it again, then I sent the link to my friend
It's so great ! thanks and thanks for all these videos on Beckett !
Samuel Beckett or Sam
Oh my God. You made me cry. I love you!
The greatest Irish Conceptual Artist.

very amusing and interesting, thanxx
Fabulous. Thank you. 🥰
I love Ian Mckellan when he reverts to his natural Lancashire accent. I think he should always speak like this. Everyone Oop North loves him.
A great show
Well done!
I loved the aside about Beckett travelling to Paris to follow Joyce… tantalising… hmmmmm
People keep going back to Waiting For Godot because they're hoping the fucker might eventually show up. :)
Reg? He did.
Thank you so much, Manufacturing Intellect! I had not been able to get around to seeing the videos. -@yosoyene
Wow. Thank you.
My 6 year old grandaughter put some twigs and leaves and gras togetther today called Campfire and Camp beds for Fairies and Squirrels which looked like the set for Waiting For Godot. Sam knew how Kids saw the World.
... amazing.
Jiohn Hurt as Krapp was amazing.
And he had a lovely head of hair.
Yeah, Beckett's up there with David Lynch in terms of 'fantastic old-man hair'
@@zetetick395 🤣
Nobody beats Sam..."It's about waiting."
@Naburim Naburim Samuel Beckett
OMG. The dude reading paper in barber shop. Sam !
I do like the company of actors.
I don't......
"He never tried to lecture anyone on what it all meant" it's so frustrating trying to make stuff now and having to explain fucking EVERYTHING to those who have the means to get it out in the world.
Well now!
I coulda swore that Mr Hugo Weaving was in fact a bearded Martin Amis! 😅 4:04
Pure dramatic art...
But wait...
For What...?
Time to unfold.
And here's the gorgeous Lisa Dwan.....I have her mouth on my wall. Hahaha!
In 2020 we are waiting for Godot (the end of Covid).
i was like “how did they use a cover of old town road if this came out in 2015?”
then i learned the error of my ways. it’s nine inch nails
Using Beck’s song had to be intentional, no?
Lots of Beck music in Beckett video... coincidence? I think not!
some NIN too.
i don'i believe it
why do americans always pronounce it "goDOH" while brits say "GODoh", which is correct?
Neither, it's "GODOH" or maybe it's "godoh"
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It just occurred to me. Two sorcerers, waiting. Gaius and Gandalf.
Two wizards
Oh dear - they've turned Waiting for Godot into a pantomime
The TV version is far superior (faultless) and one doesn't have to endure the inane laughter
I don’t believe it
BRAVA !! Go to "Hippodrome Golders Green" on Facebook !! Prego !!
ha ha ha ... agent smith...
Might not be a bad idea to trim that nose hair if you're hosting a show dude.
