A 1988 all-female production of this play sparked a lawsuit by this play’s author, leading to a brief ban on all productions of the author’s plays in the Netherlands. Because of its all-male cast, this play was staged by San Quentin State Prison inmates in one of the first successful performances of it in the US. A candlelit staging of this play during the Siege of Sarajevo was directed by Susan Sontag. A character eating a carrot in this play is interrupted by the arrival of a man whose command to “Think!” prompts a speech that is cut off by grabbing the speaker’s hat. At the end of this play, a man who peers into his hat and a man who struggles with his boots lament not having rope to hang themselves with. For 10 points, Vladimir and Estragon appear in what absurdist play by Samuel Beckett? ■END■
