‘I think it is really excellent. You have really caught the atmosphere of the work in a rehearsal room, and the way it is woven into the history of Godot is a remarkable achievement.’ – Letter from director Peter Hall

‘Jonathan Croall’s admirably succinct short history proves that unlikeliest of non-fiction genres – a page-turner….Enjoy it for its exemplary clarity, uncluttered prose, and numerous aperçus from the mouths of Godot’s many far-flung interpreters.’ – Carole Woddis, Rogues and Vagabonds

‘Croall’s diary of the making of the new staging provides a unique insight, particularly given Peter Hall’s history with the play.’ – Mark Shenton, Theatregoer
