Beckett On Film: Waiting for Godot Act II 2001 :3

Playing Vladimir is Barry McGovern and playing Estragon is Johnny Murphy.This play belongs to the Absurd theater that is why the dialogue is weird and it doesn’t make sense, although it does!

The films were produced by Colgan and Alan Moloney for the Irish broadcaster RTÉ, the British broadcaster Channel 4 and the Irish Film Board

Duration : 0:9:51
