The Godot Particle

In this homage to Beckett, The Godot Particle, two physicists are struggling with a reality-altering decision: to flip a switch and potentially change the world or do nothing and live with the nothing that happens.

    What a fascinating take on Beckett's Waiting for Godot - within a scientific context! The whole time reading it I felt as if I were gaining some ground into particle-wave physics without really understanding it at all - so maybe that’s what’s behind THE GODOT PARTICLE, a kind of faith in an absurdist quantum physics that can never quite be grasped. But almost. I like Valerie’s assessment: “Nothing can’t exist.” And that time seems to bend backward when Godwin enters the room again without having left. Very cool dramaticule I'll be pondering a while.

    This play is delightfully surreal! I laughed right away at the setting description. Time is, indeed, a construct! Absolutely smart and physical comedy all in one short piece!
