Samuel Barclay / Samuel Beckett

I'm having a scholarly freak out!

I did my final university thesis on Samuel Beckett, & clocked the "Waiting for Godot" reference in Samuel Barclay's play immediately! Can I just say its freakin GENIUS that they they are hinting at Sam being Samuel Beckett! Beckett's middle name was Barclay, he was Irish, and he spent years in Paris.

"Waiting for Godot" is an existential and fascinating play about two beings who wait for someone ("Godot" or in the show's case "Guido") who never comes. Its about eternity and hope.... Even Santiago and Quang's costumes are a nod to it!

So... feeling inspired, I open up an old university essay I did specifically on "Waiting for Godot" that I havent read in 10+ years and immediately start GASPING - look at my title. 🤯

"I have a capacity for enduring"

"I'm endurin'"

"We go on"

Some snippets from my essay below if anyone's interested in spiralling with me! 🤣

'the desire to be finished and the need to go on...'

"Was it raining, Louis?"

"Dieu n'existe pas! Nous sommes les dieux!"

The best moment in the epic fantasy action works of playwright S. Beckett is universally agreed to be where Estragon charges into battle shouting, “For Godot!”

"The tears of the world are a constant quantity. For each one who begins to weep, somewhere else another stops. The same is true of the laugh. Let us not then speak ill of our generation, it is not any unhappier than its predecessors."

SAMUEL BECKETT Waiting for Godot

Let us not waste our time in idle discourse! Let us do something, while we have the chance! It is not every day that we are needed. Not indeed that we personally are needed. Others would meet the case equally well, if not better. To all mankind they were addressed, those cries for help still ringing in our ears. But at this place, at this moment of time, all mankind is us, whether we like it or not. Let us make the most of it, before it is too late!
