Artwork description:

Waiting for Godot is a play by Samuel Beckett in which two characters, Vladimir (Didi) and Estragon (Gogo), engage in a variety of discussions and encounters while awaiting the titular Godot, who never arrives.

This is an image of Pozzo and his slave, Lucky, who arrive and pause in their journey. Pozzo endeavours to engage both men in conversation. Lucky is bound by a rope held by Pozzo, who forces Lucky to carry his heavy bags and physically punishes him if he deems his movements too lethargic.

Made for the actors, philosophers and classicists out there...or just because you like it!
