I wonder what a Steve Martin and Robin Williams movie would've looked like... 🤔
@sohinichatterjee799428 күн бұрын
It's truly surprising how everything Robin Williams does becomes my favourite and him as Estragon in one of the playes I adore is such a happy coincidence 😭 Petitiom to NYC library to release this. Take our money, give us this whole production please! Off all performances, this truly evoked the comic laughtet and the tragedy through those subtle gestures. God! It's awesome. No matter how much I write, will always fall short to express my feelings. ♥ NYC library please! 😭😭😭😭😭

I always thought the dialog of Waiting for Godot was just bizarre. Now when I watch Williams and Martin act it out, it totally makes sense.

Martin and Williams are, of course, wildly entertaining, but ... am not sure Beckett had vaudevillian clowns in mind when he wrote this. In fact, I think not ...
@davidlean10603 ай бұрын
Of course he did. Beckett loved Laurel and Hardy. Just look how the two men are dressed! They are L and H crossed with Chaplin's tramp. The hat swapping scene is straight out of vaudville!
@elbinkogrande3 ай бұрын
@@davidlean1060 Yes, dressed in a somewhat shabby version of Laurel and Hardy. And the hat swapping is a bit. However, these two actors are playing it like clowns performing a vaudeville routine. Sorry, but it ain't Beckett.
@davidlean10603 ай бұрын
@@elbinkograndeI take that point, fair enough. The play is meant to be funny however. The only version I have watched is the Abbey version and the Irish accents seem to get the balance between tragedy/comedy better than actors playing it simply for laughs. I get the sense that the two characters are witty in spite of the absurdity watching that version. The wit in the face of existential doom is a defiance. That comes across in the Abbey version. I actually find their version life affirming!

Maybe it's some kind of wish-fulfillment false memory, but this must have been shown in its entirety on television at some point because I remember seeing it. It must have been on PBS, not long after it finished its New York run. To those who complain about comedians performing the roles, note that Beckett's original stage directions describe Didi and Gogo as "two clowns." The great comic Bert Lahr played Gogo in the first American production of the play. Beckett was a great fan of Laurel & Hardy, and I've always believed Stan and Ollie (who were still alive and performing when the play was written) would have been his dream cast. I sometimes imagine Jackie Gleason (Didi) and Art Carney (Gogo) would have been an excellent casting.
