Originally ‘Waiting for Godot’ was written in which language and what was the title? [British Drama (2018-19) Assignment 2]

 "Waiting for Godot" was originally written in French by Irish playwright Samuel Beckett, who was living in Paris at the time. The original French title of the play is "En attendant Godot."


Beckett wrote the play in French because he was living in Paris at the time and was more comfortable writing in French than in English. The play was later translated into English by Beckett himself, and it is the English version that is now most commonly performed.


The French version of the play was first performed in Paris in 1953, and the English version premiered in London in 1955. The play is now considered a classic of 20th century theatre, and has been translated into many languages and performed all over the world.
