A spotlight flits across a light-colored width of material on Mark Lammert's set, which contracts as if to form the hub of the world, disappearing into the gorge of a funnel in which two men stand. Vladimir and Estragon stare out of the crater's hole as if they had just landed on a strange planet. In this restricted area and free zone of pure acting, limited by black curtains, only the imagination is real. Two have-nots who possess neither shoe nor hat, neither radish nor turnip. No props to hold on to. Pozzo and Lucky also climb out of this primal hole, equally bereft of all utensils: no rope, no whip, no suitcase, nothing at all.
