The play that changed my life: ‘Waiting for Godot revealed that less is more – it made me fearless’

A school production of Samuel Beckett's 'Waiting for Godot' had a profound impact on the author, who transitioned from a French school system focused on traditional theatre to an English environment that embraced modern plays. This experience not only introduced them to a new world of theatre but also instilled a sense of fearlessness in the face of failure. The significance of this production lies in its ability to challenge conventional views on success and creativity, highlighting how embracing simplicity can lead to personal growth.
