A Tragicomedy in Two Acts
Godot is plotless, meaningless - and priceless.
Waiting for Godot A Tragicomedy in Two Acts
Grove Press 1954.
First English language edition. Original black cloth lettered in silver and gilt to the spine and blind to the boards, in pictorial dustwrapper. Loosely inserted is a flier for the 1955 stage production of Godot at the Criterion Theatre, directed by Peter Hall. A fine copy in a very good dustwrapper indeed, with some browning to the spine and lower cover and a touch of wear to the head of the spine.
The first appearance in English of Beckett's masterpiece, originally published in Paris in 1952. Waiting for Godot would not only define the Theatre of the Absurd but it would also play a large role in Beckett being awarded the Nobel Prize in 1969.
