‎En attendant Godot Waiting for Godot‎

‎Paris: Les Editions De Minuit. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Very Good. FIRST EDITION SIGNED BY BECKETT on the title page; one of the most influential works of modern drama. "Voted the most significant English language play of the 20th century in a British Royal National Theatre poll of 800 playwrights actors directors and journalists. Beckett's naked play about two tramps waiting for Godot has tapped into our 20th-century public consciousness. It seems to express our deepest fears and our deepest knowledge of ourselves and our predicament" Norman Berlin. Notably the first edition of the text provided the public with their first experience of the complete play-Les Editions de Minuit published it three months before the play's debut in French in January 1953. "The first production of Beckett's own English translation directed by Peter Hall was staged at the Arts Theatre Club in London in August 1955. Kenneth Tynan's and Harold Hobson's reviews made it into an intellectual hit which has since been regarded as having transformed the British stage" DNB. Paris: Les Editions de Minuit 1952. Octavo original wrappers; custom half-leather box. Text in French. Some browning and rubbing to spine. Extremely rare signed. Les Editions De Minuit paperback books‎

‎En attendant Godot: pièce en deux Actes‎

‎Paris: les èditions de Minuit 1952 First edition first printing. Original publisher's white paper wrappers lettered in blue and black. Near fine or better with some faint creasing to the spine a hint of faint soiling to the otherwise fresh wrappers very minor toning to the otherwise clean pages. Overall a very bright and handsome copy. En attendant Godot is an absurdist play about two main characters Vladimir and Estragon who converse in witty and amusing banter while they wait for Godot who ultimately never arrives. Beckett an Irish author and native English speaker moved to France and subsequently transitioned from writing in English to French including this play. In 1954 Beckett translated this text from its original French into English and it was published in London by Faber and Faber in 1956 under the English title Waiting for Godot. The play originally premiered in Paris at the Théâtre de Babylone in January 1953 and this true first edition uses the text from that production; the subsequent English edition contains the text used by the Criterion Theater for its production of the play after the London premier in August 1955 at the Arts Theater including the "small number of textual deletions" that were made as per Lord Chamberlain's requirements in accordance with the strict UK theater censorship of the 1950's. Many subsequent productions have since altered Beckett's original text leading to a bit of a discrepancy as to which version is the definitive text but this French text is irrefutably the original. Regardless Waiting for Godot is a theatrical masterpiece- "its form is unusual: its contents weird its chief themes are madness boredom suffering cruelty: yet the effect of its inspired cross-talk is hilarious.". 1st Edition. Soft Cover. Near Fine. Paris: les èditions de Minuit paperback books‎
