It's a very famous play by Samuel Beckett. It's good, dark, poignant humor. Basically, two men are waiting for godot, who never shows, and they try painfully to interact with one another

I'm not watching, but I'm listening, and it's cool hearing where my housemate adds notes as the director. It sheds way more light on the play than I'd get from reading it alone, as I'd done previously, and also asking for feedback from the actors, and if they want to do something different. It makes the piece feel much more open and malleable than reading it.

No but the theater wants to dedicate an exclusive parking space to him, in front of the store that hates the theater owners and goers

Also I keep hearing "Pull up your trousers" from somebody I know pretty well and it gives the line a lot more humor than usual

Dammit bouvre, this is America. We say, "roommates."

Sorry, I know that wasn't a question.

I'd be dead to my housemates if I didn't.

Both of them have pored their whole being into every production. And both are studied and well-acclaimed and take risks. I have too much respect for both them to miss a damned thing

Are they any good?

Well now more than ever what else is there?

[Codename: Jackass]

There is nothing.

The void calls to me.

Also look up "Waiting for Guffman."
