One of the most important plays of the twentieth century. Preceded by Beckett's original French version (En attendant Godot, 1952) and a New York edition in 1954, the present edition is the first to publish the play as performed in London in 1955, its English-language premiere, with the alterations to comply with censorship in British theatres.

First UK edition; 8vo; publisher's note tipped in, light offsetting and spotting to endpapers, else unmarked internally; publisher's yellow cloth, spine lettered in red, with the unclipped pictorial dust-jacket, spine panel toned, some rubbing and light edge-wear, else very good.
