4.0 out of 5 stars The Absurd, 8 Aug 2008
This is an interesting play. There is a contrast between dark and light. A battling conversation, which gives a sense of time passing by. Each part consist's a metaphor of some kind, including the characters all which represents the bigger picture.
The play also toys with death.

It reflects Beckett's previous marriage to some extent and demonstrates Beckett's dark humour. Though no doubt illustrates his genuis mind.
He is one of the few writers who wanted full control of his play and even revoked his play temporarily to make changes.

Some readers may find this strange ...perhaps even weird but read again and you realise never judge the book by its cover .... in this case never judge the play by its words. It is a deep book, philosophical even.

4.0 out of 5 stars An absurd play, 30 Jun 2009
If you like Waiting for Godot then read this play. It is a bizarre situation where Ham and Clov annoy one another in a small space and to add a comical image is the parents nagg and nell living in dustbins. The language is reductive in itself and that is Beckett's trait. A man of few words yet they speak volumes. It is one of those plays that you either love or hate and some say they prefer to watch this as oppose to reading it.
