Since its first production in French in the tiny Théâtre de Babylone in Paris in 1953, Waiting for Godot has been played all over the world in different languages and in all sorts of venues: not just in theatres, but in prisons and hospitals, war zones and lockdowns. It is a play that continues to resonate in new ways with changing contexts.
