I remember the TNB production of Waiting for Godot that you mention. It astounded and shocked me, bowled me over. I have never had a production of the play match it in impact; all have seemed second best at best. Lucky's dance was horrifying. I still can easily picture him him lifting his arms, the rags hanging down in shreds. I felt I had learned what the world would look like after nuclear Armageddon.
As Lucky, Thomas Hauff used epsom salts to slaver during his soliloquy. He lived the role. Avery Saltzman was Pozzo, and Patrick Clark designed the circus-themed production.
I enjoyed these immensely—so succinctly but vividly Written. I have wondered for years what in Orbison ‘s voice delighted me. Ditto the youngster in The Animals singing The House Of the Rising Sun. What did they have in common. Why do I like Pissarro more than Monet? Mysteries. So many of these vignettes brought back memories.
