Two men, Vladimir and Estragon, meet near a tree. They
converse on various topics and reveal that they are waiting there for a man
named Godot. While they wait, two other men enter. Pozzo is on his way to the
market to sell his slave, Lucky. He pauses for a while to converse with
Vladimir and Estragon. Lucky entertains them by dancing and thinking, and Pozzo
and Lucky leave.
After Pozzo and Lucky leave, a boy enters and tells Vladimir
that he is a messenger from Godot. He tells Vladimir that Godot will not be
coming tonight, but that he will surely come tomorrow. Vladimir asks him some
questions about Godot and the boy departs. After his departure, Vladimir and
Estragon decide to leave, but they do not move as the curtain falls.
The next night, Vladimir and Estragon again meet near the
tree to wait for Godot. Lucky and Pozzo enter again, but this time Pozzo is
blind and Lucky is dumb. Pozzo does not remember meeting the two men the night
before. They leave and Vladimir and Estragon continue to wait.
Shortly after, the boy enters and once again tells Vladimir
that Godot will not be coming. He insists that he did not speak to Vladimir
yesterday. After he leaves, Estragon and Vladimir decide to leave, but again
they do not move as the curtain falls, ending the play
