Waiting for Godot blog

The only thing that caught my attention in this play was the stage directions. Beckett was very specific about crossing stage left, stage right and center stage. Blocking is usually in a script but I have never read it to the extent of " Martha runs from stage left to center stage". It has been my understanding that the director usually directs that type of blocking. I did not enjoy reading the script . It seemed pretty pointless. I understand that the character Godot may be a reference to God but there was no true plot or motivation in the script. It did not capture my attention at all. Usually if I am not interested in the content of a script I can find design or technical elements that can give it life to make it more interesting but, those aspects was pretty basic as well.
