Waiting for Godex

A Tragicomedy in Two Acts A philosopher down on his luck and his female companion are waiting for Godex. Unlike a certain Godot, Godex does show up and gets himself into trouble for not dishing out “one hundred percent salvation.” After celebrating the end of their wait, the tramps dread the existential vacuum once more. "The Waiting River springs from Mount Hope and flows into the Sea of Promise. Along its banks there is boredom and despair (I can't go on!), resolution or revolution (no more waiting!), joy and celebration (free at last!), and disappointment and emptiness (what now?)." “[Waiting for Godex] marks what may become a healthy wave of Beckettian revisionism.” -The Los Angeles Times “...thought provoking and funny as hell.” -The Los Angeles Weekly “...post-modernist manifesto.” -The Village Voice Corneliu Mitrache's plays have been staged in New York, Los Angeles, Seattle and Paris. His first novel was translated and published as La Traversée du Styx by Editions Denöel/Gallimard, Paris. “We have talked a lot about [Michel] Houellebecq and [Bret Easton] Ellis, but hardly about Dan Lungu and Corneliu Mitrache, authors who also rock.” -Technikart magazine
