Poignant, funny, atmospheric... You may not be receptive to it the first time; I wasn't. That's fine. Try it again in the right mood and it might blow you away.

This is spectacular. I will probably read this hundreds of times throughout my life and I’m desperate to see it performed. I love Beckett more and more, the intrinsic comedy of his work is so impressive, somehow crafting pieces that are deeply serious and not so at all. There is an aloofness about his work that makes me want to understand it. I will think for a long time about what this play means but regardless of explicability, it touches you immediately as it circles around its vast emotional core. How completely wonderful for nothing to have happened at all, for everything to exist within it.

E: We weren’t made for the same road. 
V: It’s not certain. 
E: No, nothing is certain. 
V: We can still part, if you think it would be better. 
E: It’s not worth while now. 
[Silence]
V: No, it’s not worth while now.
[Silence]
E: Well, shall we go?
V: Yes, let’s go. 
[They do not move.]
