Major New Contribution to the Theatre of The Absurd!
A full length 4 Act theater script, GO -21st Century Existentialism In An Absurdist Theme is based on the landmark play by Samuel Beckett Waiting For Godot.
First produced in 1953, Waiting For Godot painted an indifferent universe, meaningless and random. Within it, Beckett's tramps, VLADIMIR and ESTRAGON, waited frozenly, in hopelessness, for the non-appearance of their transcendent, passive Godot. Positing major advances since that play, GO’s tramps, BLIND and GOGO, actively participate in a meaningful kosmos. Their universe is "open at the top."
A serious exploration of contemporary existential angst, GO is a modern contribution to the theatre of the absurd, a global genre transcending cultural lines!
Employing technical economy in all aspects of production, GO is inexpensive to produce. Dramaturges will be delighted by the minimal stage directions, stage directors by the electricity present in GO. A challenge for thespians, audiences will also be entertained and amused by its abundant humor.

Excerpts
BLIND is stretched out, asleep, covered with newspapers. GOGO sits, staring at the audience.
Beside a crate is a lamp on a long pole, shade missing. It is the sole source of illumination. An aluminium moon is suspended in the background.)
(From the left AZOO enters. Barefoot, she wears only a bathrobe and a towel over her hair. She drops a large, green garbage bag next to the lamp, then exits.
GOGO stares at the bag for a moment, then slides off his crate and walks to it. After examining it he pulls out a long, fluffy toy “snake”.
GOGO plays with it, then wraps it around the lamp pole. He pulls a newspaper out of the bag. Crawling back onto his crate, he starts reading the newspaper.
After a moment, he jumps off his crate and, holding a page up to the light, reads it through the light. He turns the page upside down and examines it several times.
Becoming more and more agitated, GOGO rushes to BLIND.)
GOGO: (tapping a finger in BLIND’s ear)
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! You sleep.
BLIND: (Opens his eyes. He stares at the audience.)
I rest in peace.
GOGO: (tapping his finger, again)
Wake up! Go’s come! Go’s come!
(BLIND brushes away GOGO’s finger.)
In… through the exit. Everybody was watching the entrance. Go’s come in the exit.
This is the opening scene of the play. It sets the stage and introduces the two main characters, BLIND & GOGO.
