London: The Little Theatre Club, 1971. Unbound. Fine. Broadside. Approximately 8" x 13". Nicely framed. Unexamined out of frame, appears fine. An artifact from what was apparently the first production of *Waiting for Godot* with an all-female cast. We could find little about the production. Beckett, and then his estate, strongly resisted the casting of female actors, going as far as bringing legal action against several production to mixed results. We could find very little record of this particular production. Rare. Presumably not many broadsides survived from the six-day run (with a reported audience capacity of 50) if indeed it was ever performed at all. *OCLC* locates a single copy.

One of the most important works of modernist literature, Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot is a play in which two characters, Vladimir and Estragon, wait for the arrival of someone named Godot who never arrives, and while waiting they engage in a variety of discussions and encounter several other characters.
