An imaginary staging by William T. Wiley of Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett, with an introduction by David Littlejohn, program note and synopsis by Andrew Hoyem, and an afterword by William T. Wiley.

This book is published in 2006 in honor of the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Samuel Beckett. It is not the play Waiting for Godot. It is a book about the play: a critic’s appreciation, fifty colored prints inspired by the play, a synopsis of the drama, and an artist’s comments. There are two other prints, in black only: a frontispiece portrait of the playwright and an explosive tailpiece. The synopsis is only a guide. It can be read for relevance to the images or their irrelevance and irreverence. For the play, go to the theater. For Beckett’s words, read the script in his original French and/or in his English translation. For that purpose this artist book is accompanied by the bilingual hardcover trade edition published by Grove Press.

The edition is limited to 300 numbered copies for sale and 26 lettered copies for complimentary distribution to participants, each signed by the artist. The price of $800 includes a copy of En attendant / Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett, published by Grove Press. Published December, 2006.
