Synopsis

An in depth remembering and re-creation of the famous 1957 production of Waiting For Godot--so famously used by writer Martin Esslin as the introduction to his important work: The Theater of the Absurd. Also covers some little known German performances in which its suggested that former Nazis performed Waiting For Godot at a Jewish Cultural Building in 1956 (new finding). Also covers Beckett's study locale across the street from the Sante prison and the revelation from James Knowlson's Beckett biography Damned To Fame provides the last startling statement on Beckett, the play, and prisoners.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
