WEEK'S FARE
una
By ANIKET MAJUMDAR
Staff Writer ,
Is there life after birth?
Is life a chronicle of the faithful few
who keep their "appointment" in spite
of ignorance and apathy?
Is man a "helpless, hopeless, impotent
comic" who has to talk and talk and
talk just to temporarily postpone the
silence of his own desolation?
Such is the flavor of questions
provoked by Samuel Beckett's Waiting
for Godot. Even to a casual theatergoer,
w ho is caught in the middle of "Nothing
happens, nobody comes, nobody goes
. . .," these questions are not merely
rhetorical. Such is the power of the play, i
Waitting for Godot is being per- I
formed by Transactors Theater Com-!
pany, a resident affiliate of ArtSchool,
Center for Visual and Performing Arts. -The
play will be performed through
Saturday. , .
In his now famous interview with
Tom Driver, Beckett commented: "If

life and death did not both present
themselves to us, there would be no
inscrutability. If there were only dar
kness, all would be clear . . ; but for
us who are neither Greek nor Jansenist
there is not such clarity. The question
would also be removed if we believed
in the contrary total salvation. But
where we have both dark and light we
have also the inexplicable. The key
word in my plays is 'perhaps." "
; For a director wishing to stage a
Beckett play, the major part of the effort
would be spent in trying to "represent
some of the "perhaps" elements through
dramatic movements. Waiting for
Godot, though labelled as a tragi
comedy by the playwright himself, does
not lend, itself easily to simple-minded
expositions. Its superficial comedy is
grotesquely exaggerated while the tragic
elements do not rely on conventional
theatrical devices. Mary Ruth, who

directs , the Transactors' production,
does well to interpret the play "in an
extremely comic light," providing the
viewer with a tangible frame of reference
without obscuring the basic premise of
the play. Her efforts are richly comple
mented by the cast of five actors.
Mark Miller's Vladimir and Martha
Brown's Estragon conjure up for us the
tramp image' often morose, some
times hilarious, but always humane.
Brown infuses some unintended "wom
anliness" in the original male role
without detracting from the character
ization. Tom Marriott as Lucky
matches the other performers in a noisy
monologue reminiscent of James Joyce.
Sally Nussbaumer's Pozzo was in
sharp contrast to her controlled acting
in Serenading Louie, a recent Art
School production. Her exaggerated
movements, supposedly in keeping with
the director's intentions, brought out
the superficial comedy, but on one
occasion obscured an important
monologue.
. A Polish director once commented:
"We do Brecht when we want Fantasy.
When we want sheer Realism, vve do
Waiting for Godot." When the only
prop is a barren tree and the only
characters are two (sometimes indistin
guishable) pairs behaving like clowns
and ' a boy messenger, when the only
question is " Will Godot show up ?"
and the only answer is "Not today but
tomorrow," then there is just one
option: to go see the play. Nobody said
. it would be easy. And however you look
at it, Godot remains a challenge. It has
its rewards too.
