Still Waiting For Godot

This is For The Vocal Epistolary Challenge

By Mike Singleton ๐Ÿ’œ Mikeydred Published 3 years ago โ€ข Updated 3 years ago โ€ข 1 min read

I first had to read "Waiting For Godot" by Samuel Beckett in English at Grammar School. I wasn't too impressed, but over the years I have come to really like the play. Music is, appropriately "Waiting For The Man" by The Velvet Underground.

Luckily for me, the two main characters have nicknames because I intend to do this as an epistolary haiku, though I don't know if Vocal will take this short-form poem as an entry.

My friend the writer Paul Campbell incorporated "Waiting For Godot" into the BBC Daytime series "Doctors". I am sure that the Guardian described it as the best half hour of TV ever but the article praised the series but mentioned the episode. You can read that here:

I also took it on board for one of my Vocal Stories below
