It's not bad, has a few laughs, but a tad overrated.

There was a good film version done in 2001.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0276613/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

There are torrents out there for it.

I liked it, maybe tedious at certain points.

Still haven't seen it, sadly. Endgame was amazing though.

Studying and understanding it was better than reading it.

>reading it

Beckett's direction is very precise, but you'll see the full comedic effect if you actually watch it. But reading Beckett is a no no

I might be an autist, but I never laugh watching it. To me its just really distressing.

I read__[/spoiler} it and I liked it a lot, actually.

I'm interested in the productions and success it had in prisons and among prisoners. I think a recording of it or a documentary was made on this, but can't find it anywhere.

>>7775864
The worst of Beckett's more well-known works

It read like Edward Albee when I think back on it.

>>7775864
It's utter shit pleb-tier drama of course.

Beckett did not really like this play, he thought his masterpiece was Endgame

>tfw had a class about Endgame last year
>tfw all the symbolism
>tfw all the play on word
>>
>>7776064
Yeah, Beckett's novels should definitely be seen performed on stage

It's about the death of all meaning and how we're all just memeing now as the clock winds down.

My English teacher completely misunderstood this and interpreted it to have a lesson about how you shouldn't let imaginary excuses prevent you from changing yourself and moving on.
