Waiting for Godot… until Now.
Overview: Up to this point, there has been a lot of discussion in class as to who or what Godot really is and, while we may have presented ideas, none of us will ever really know what Beckett was thinking. However, we can attempt to know and put into practice our own suspicions.
Assignment: In groups of three or four, your task is to write the long lost scene in which Godot finally appears. Though the scene should retain aspects of absurdism, it must also answer some of the unanswered questions that have plagued us throughout our reading. As a group, you must give Godot a voice, a persona, and a specificity that the original playwright never intended.
Requirements:
- 50 Lines (approximately 2 pages) of text
- A half page description of the character’s look, clothes, age, occupation, family background, etc.
- A visual representation of the character as your group has imagined him
- For extra credit, your group may perform the scene that you have written.
