Two old guys, Estragon and Vladimir, are sitting by a tree waiting for Godot, who they think will be able to better their lives. As they are waiting, Posso walks by, leading his slave Lucky on a rope. They stop for a while and Posso makes Lucky do some tricks. When they leave, a boy who works for Godot comes by to tell them Godot won’t be there until the next day. Estragon and Vladimir sleep in a nearby field and the next day go to the tree again to wait. Pozzo and Lucky wander by again, but now Pozzo has been blinded and needs Lucky’s help to walk. The day passes and the boy comes again to say that Godot will be delayed until the next day. Estragon and Vladimir say they are going to give up waiting, but they still sit and wait.

Nearly incomprehensible. I understand that Beckett wanted to present the idea of frustrated hope (I think) but I have no idea why he chose such a dull, screwy way to do it. The good part was that it only took an hour to read.
