Andrew Reviews Godot Has Left the Building at The Culture Project



Godot Has Left the Building is a play about two guys who are waiting for something, but they don't know what, in a place they aren't familiar with, for however long it takes to get there. A premise like that may sound boring, but I'll tell you something: a lot gets done while doing nothing.

This is not a play for those who need a strong story. I for one was expecting to see a traditional play -- you know, one with a beginning, middle and an end that tells a story over a definite period of time. For me, seeing Godot Has Left the Building was like walking into a restaurant and ordering an iced tea, but getting lemonade.

The lemonade is not the sweet sugary taste I was expecting when I ordered the iced tea, but instead the sour bitter taste of lemonade. The play is not iced tea, nor does it try to be iced tea. It is lemonade and it is very good at being lemonade.

If you want to see an eerie, surrealist, unsettling, philosophical discussion disguised as a play, I would strongly recommend this to you. Remember though: Godot Has Left The Building is defiantly not iced tea.
