Samuel Beckett himself sanctioned a famous 1980 mixed-race production of this play at Cape Town's Baxter Theatre, with John Kani and Winston Ntshona as the two tramps. It was also staged in Johannesburg in October 2020, in the first live indoor theatre event after South Africa's COVID lockdown. Which play is it?

Question

Accepted Answer

Waiting for Godot. Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett is his 1953 tragicomedy about two men waiting endlessly for someone who never comes. The Baxter Theatre Cape Town production of 1980, sanctioned by Beckett himself, was a landmark; the play returned to Johannesburg in 2020 during the pandemic.
