Waiting for Godot, by Samuel Beckett.
You are coming, aren't you

If only you were more patient, Kate .
Beckett's a fascinating writer.
You'll come though, won't you, Janet
You really ought to e something like this

Well, what did you think
It was ... very interesting.
I didn't have a clue what was going on.
Absolutely nothing happened!
I don't know why I bothered coming to e it.
I thought Mark was brilliant.
Yes, I did too, of cour ...
But I wish I had read the play before I saw it.
If only I had known the story,
it might have been easier to follow it.
How long do you think Mark will be
I guess he needs to get changed first. He said he'd join us as soon as possible. Here he is. Hi,Mark!
Hi, what did you think How was I
It was ... very challenging.
It was so-so.
But you were brilliant! Well done!
You were awesome, Mark.
Everyone adored your performance.
Darling, you were to die for!
OK, OK, don't exaggerate.
I wasn't that good! Anyway,
I've got some great news!
